I like to watch Seatac air traffic from my deck. About 2 am I was sitting out there looking at clouds and a light caught my eye WAY up high. Moving at a pace like an international flight, west to east. But it was too high to be commercial jet so thought it was a satellite. Until it stopped. It kind of moved around a bit before becoming stationary. Weather balloon? Are they lit up and look like stars? Got my camera, iPhone 14pro plus and started recording. Saw a flash to the right of it, which was really odd, but nothing else interesting. Looked back at the video to see if the flash showed up and zoomed in a bit and oh man. I could see more flashes around it. And it looks like the orb is flashing, or is emitting energy or something. It was just weird then really started doing flashy stuff (you’ll see) that’s freaking not normal. No clue what it is, but it’s really weird. Saw something similar the end of June. Thought it was one of the planets to the west, but it was too bright. Decided it was a jet coming in from the ocean. It just stayed there, so I thought damn, it’s way out there. Then it turned like it should, I could see the red lights on the left side. Ok good. It’s a jet. but it just stopped. Huh? Then it traveled rather slowly from west to east. From just above the horizon to almost overhead. Then stopped. Looked like it moved around like in a square but then thought my eyes were tricking me. It just sat there. I watched it for about 20 minutes then went inside thinking “that was not normal”.

While walking my dog I looked southward down the street and saw, at an altitude of roughly 8-10,000 feet, a large green colored barrel shaped light fall at a incredible speed. It was much faster than terminal velocity and from my position in the Northern most part of Vancouver Washington, it appeared as if the object was at least as far south as Portland Oregon. I would guess that the object was at least same size as a Boeing 747 given it's relative size to it probable distance from myself.

Observed for several minutes. Looked away then could never find again. Way too bright for star or planet. Was not yet sunset. Steady light maintaining steady position. Looked for it until Longview

Davenport, WA
We were traveling eastbound on hwy 2 towards Davenport, when we saw a light to the southeast of us. It was headed due east towards the glow of what we presumed is Spokane. The light was as bright as an aircraft coming in for landing but it was missing the blinking green and red lights. The object was also flying lower and faster than when planes are at their cruising altitude. The part that weirded us out was that as we were passed by the object. We did not loose sight of the light until it dipped below the horizon miles and miles to the east of us. Where if it was an airplane we should have lost sight of its front light.

I witnessed the first one that I saw look like a satellite or a star I watched a travel across the sky and when it got to the other side of the sky is slowed down by a actual star went left then quickly right then turned back and flew back across the sky and disappeared in one spot so I focused on that spot and within 30 seconds that light spit out of that spot with another light they sort of circled and danced around each other like they were playing with each other then they both shot over a few miles to another light that look like a star but when they got to it they joined it and it looked like a triangle at that point the triangle then proceeded to move around the sky quickly there was some cloud cover very thin cloud cover so they would move in and out and behind the clouds but I was still able to see them that lasted for like 20 minutes and then they broke up again and then I started seeing them everywhere they would just look like a star and then all the sudden start moving it would interact with one another I couldn't believe the amount that I saw I'm out there every night looking at them but I've never seen anything like this I actually thought we had an invasion going on or about to start I didn't get it my mind wasn't conceiving it it was a crazy amount for a 3-hour period I had no one to tell no one to show so I just sat there and watched it I finally went to bed prayed to my God to ask for discernment but one thing is for sure these were not satellites they were not Stars they flew all over the sky all different directions joined with each other separated from one another played with each other they kept going to that one spot and disappearing and then reappearing and flying across the sky it was actually too much to actually put in this report but there's no doubt in my mind that other people had to see it I've been watching for the last 2 weeks with this weather being so clear and beautiful at night I came up with like five different categories of what I saw every night but this was intense it was insane the amount and what they're actually doing and to join with each other and then fly around as a perfect triangle around the sky and then separate from one another and all three go there different ways and then join back together in a different part in the sky and then play with each other and circling around like I don't know it was incense it was amazing scarier yet cool at the same time I hope other people report this I know I'm not the only one who saw it it lasted for too long and was way too obvious if you actually just sat there and watched

First night I noticed was Tuesday august 1st 2023 at 10 pm or so. Each night since, now four nights in a row. It shows up flashing red and blue. It stays in the same spot for hours. There seems to be air craft passing underneath several times. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

Gig Harbor, WA
Three people on bikes were stopped on trail pointing up in sky. My friend and I walked toward them and asked what they were looking at. They pointed to a single stationary light in sky—larger than a satellite, round and visible in clear daylight sky. The light pulsed slightly, disappeared for about a second, then reappeared in same area but relatively far away in a short second. The movement within the same quadrant continued, shifting randomly down and left, up and right, with no flight path. It was just holding position within and area and quickly moving, disappearing and reappearing. We watched for about 3-5 minutes, then continued on our walk

Bellingham, WA
My house is surrounded by tall pine trees, but you can see the stars over the house and in between the tips of the trees. I was on my back deck looking at the stars as I do on and off every night and I saw what looked like a bright white "star" move silently and quickly across the sky in seconds. I continued to scan the sky and one minute later another bright white star looking object appeared instantly right where I was looking to the left of the direction where the first originated (there was nothing there when I turned my gaze to this spot and it appeared right before my eyes). About another minute later two more of these objects appeared and created a triangle with the second object. I came inside shortly after. I see these bright white star looking objects cross the sky in the same area at least 2 to 3 times a month. The last time I saw these there were 8 of them perfectly distanced apart all seemed to be moving at the same speed and one by one they crossed the sky silently (this happened in a matter of 3-5 minutes). I have not yet been able to get video footage of this activity. When I do I will be happy to share.

The object was a circle, I couldn’t tell if I was seeing the bottom or the side but I saw a light from the bottom half and it was a semi circle shape, yet it was a circle. It was grey or silver and it moved slowly to the left and disappeared in distance.

Probable conventionalLongview, WA
The 2 men who first witnessed the object, said they had been watching it for about 10 minutes. When they first saw it, it was 2 blocks away, near St. John Hospital. It was floating about 50 feet in the air. It "appeared" to be a black umbrella, 4 feet wide, with a white handle. There was no wind. When it was first pointed out to me, it looked like it was 300 feet in the air, and slowly ascending. After the 3 of us watched it for 10 minutes, one suggested I film it, which is when I started taking pictures and filming. From the moment it was first spotted, it was upside down the whole time. As it "floated", it maintained a swinging motion. When I first started filming, it was maybe 1500 feet high. It probably climbed another 500 feet, and after about 25 or 30 minutes, it went into a cloud, and never came out. Friends have told me there are many pictures/videos posted of this object on face book, taken from the Walmart parking lot, about a half mile from where I was. That was the general direction the object was headed. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]

Lights irradically appearing&varying intensity from not there@all-BIGGER&BRIGHTER than even CLOSE jumbo jets,Saw them go from 2 BRIIGHTTT WHITE LIGHTS, (BIGGER AND BRIGHTER THAN ANY/ALL-STARS/THINGS in the sky, about 2 fingers extended at arms length apart and slightly uneven most of the time. But have seen up to 4 lights total, ALL ALWAYS appearing RIGHT AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE RIDGELINE of Gifford Pincho forest LOOKING DIRECTLY EAST OF HIGHWAY 500. Its LITERALLY GOING ON RIGHT NOW! Last night they started around 11pm, and stayed clearly visible til 1am, then it would be active for about 20min intervals. It is NOT* A FLEETING RARE GLIMPSE OF AN EVENT! I'm 100% sure if u just sat outside for a half hour, THIS WILL BLATANTLY DEMAND UR ATTENTION!! I've had to get both my folks up around midnight, who NEITHER BELIEVE or even CARE about these kinds of things.. UNTIL they walked outside! And they couldn't even register what they were CLEARLY SEEING. Then the following morning/afternoon I felt like I HAD to tell my neighbors, if nothing else, ATLEAST to explain why they kept seeing me standing on top of my car with BINOCULARS the past few nights til the wee hours of the morning, staring in directions of nothing but dense forest farther than you can see. I live just this side of the last main street at the edge of the Suburbs-Rural farmland. Just across the street is nothing but un/under developed farm land. There are multiple stores, gas stations, restaurants ect. up&down the (N-S) street, 162nd. But NOTHING on the east side of it. So theres as little of light pollution as possible. I'm also just a few miles away from the PDX, where I've lived by the last 30yrs. So I've submitted all the flight paths and what all the aircrafts look like to memory. I'm 35ish, disabled night owl with no kids, no wife/gf, noone to distract me or requiring my attention except a doggo. I'm also a STRONG BELIEVER and ACTIVE SEEKER* of proof.. Point is, theres NOONE ELSE* more tailored to be more consistent, persistent, AVAILABLE and Active and therefore likely to see anomalies in the sky than me! I swear on EVERYTHING every word I've written here are 1000% TRUTHFUL ACCURATE AND HONEST! I read probably 75 sighting reports, n I'd say maybe half of them kinda seemed like bogus. Either because they sounded absolutely outlandish and didn't exude believability/honesty. Or because they say something INCREDIBLE! But have no details or specific details. Thats why I've LITERALLY BEEN WRITING THIS for an HOUR AND A HALF because thou III may know I'm telling the truth, I feel kinda obligated to portray the sincerity so hopefully people will go out and WITNESS this stuff for themselves so we can start to uncover the explanation of these things. I DO have my own personal hypothesis about what may be going on, but after scrolling up and seeing that this is ALREADYY the LONGEST, ABUNDANTLY DETAILED report this site has ever had, I'll spare you the rest of the novel.. THIS REPORT IS SOO LONG because its ABSOLUTELY TRUE! And I KNOW that if you live anywhere from probably Oregon City, OR-ish, to about probably Olympia, WA. Virtually any where in the valley of the i-5/i-205 corridor where you can see the tallest Gifford Pincho Forest Ridgeline. And I haven't traveled to Idaho, but theres nothing to impede you line of sight as far as I know from the i-5 corridor, and even all the way to the coast, to across the forest, (from coastline to about the Washington/Idaho border.) So theres *ALOTTT OF PEOPLE* that could potentially witness this if they just WALKED OUTSIDE and WEREN'T staring EXCLUSIVELY DOWN at their phone! What I can say FORRR SUREEE!! Is that this has been SOO-THE BIGGEST AFFIRMATION and REASSURING LIFE EVENT that its ABUNDANTLY RENEWED and CONFIRMED my drive/desire to get up when I may no necessarily WAAANT TO go outside and stare outside for hours. But this is so FANTASTICALLY UNEXPLAINABLE and IRRADICALLY INCONSISTENT and ANOMALOUS, It just COULDN'T be a man made device/formation ect. No matter how FAR AND LOOSE I streeetch my imagination, theres STILL-ZERO PLAUSIBLE logical explanations! So if you're ANYWHERE over here in the i_5 corridor area from Canada to California, look east towards paralleling highway 500 and give it just 15-30min(if its not ALREADY active) and I'll bet you'll be in for a MAAAJORRR STUMPER! I started writing this report at midnight, and its now 3am exactly, and of the 5x's I checked, every half hour, 3 of them it was ACTIVELY going on when I walked outside. I didn't have to wait. So PLEASE SOMEONE AT THE VERY LEAST TAKE A PEAK OUT THERE WHEN 7 CAN between 11pm-3am and PLEASE give me your opinion on WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON! Happened the nights of 8-2, 8-4, and 8-5-23. Saw something similar, but only lasted 10 or 15sec on 5-20-2023 at exactly 11:45pm, and PROBABLY a bunch times since then but I've been having intermittent medical issues that've kept my majorly bedridden the last 2-3mo. So itss VERYYY LIKELY been occurring the past cple mo. based on the consistency of the last week of which I first saw it. I can't explain whats going on exactly, but what I CAN SAY as previously mentioned, its SO AMAZINGLY UNEXPLAINABLE that tho I have no explanation for it, I KNOW I'D OF BEEN INCREDIBLY REMISSED if I hadn't witnessed it at all. And BTW I'm SURE anyone reading this is screaming at me thru the screen, "IF IT WAS SOO CLEARLY OBVIOUS AND LASTED FOR HOURS, WHERE ARE THE PICS!?!" But I only currently own an older-free govt. Cell phone which I haven't used for 2yrs., "Since cellphones are obviously *NOT* GOOD for CANCER, Of which I have stage 4 hogdkins lymphoma for 1, and for 2, Like i said its a CRAPPY, Probably 8yr. Old model anyway and the camera is virtually USELESS. Besides that I have a shotty tablet with an EQUALLY as useless camera. So I TRIED! But I need to go get some type of camera ASAP while this CRAZY PHENOMENON is actively present. But I've written SO MUCH ALREADY, I HIGHLY DOUBT ANYONE is still reading. But ALL THE INFO & EVERY DETAIL I KNOW are ALL RIGHT THERE for you to go and see this for yourself! PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHATS GOING ON HERE!! You can contact me directly at my secondary email, (since my primary one has my full name I'm using my OLD ONE here for this), at "Luckymistake69@yahoo.com" BE SAFE, LOOM UP, AND SORRY FOR THE NOVEL! But it DOES SAY to include AS MANY DETAILS I can! "Huge apology to the person/analyst/case worker responsible for reviewing my report.. HOPE YOU LIKE TO READ!"

Greenwater, WA
My 5 friends and I were out camping off NF70 in Greenwater WA. It was around 4pm. We were all around the campfire when we heard this incredibly loud deep low pulsing noise in the sky come to a stop above us. My friends dog started growling with her cakles up for no reason. We all looked up and saw nothing. It went completely silent. We looked at each other with extreme confusion. 5 seconds later the pulsing started and sped up in pulse speed and you could hear it take off per say. The sound was something like you hear from the star wars pod racing. The deep pulses you could feel in your chest. We all stood there a bit freaked out and confirmed we all just heard and felt the same thing. It's a noise none of us had ever heard before. This was an experience we will never forget.

Carlsborg, WA
At about 35 deg. elevation. Resembled two or more sort of amorphous adjoining orbs, white in color. Didn't appear to be moving in any particular direction. One side occasionally became brighter or caught the light somehow. It was a clear blue day, no clouded whatsoever. After a couple minutes it just faded out. I saw it briefly again when I'd traveled maybe 4-5 miles and was east of Sequim. It was farther away and just appeared as a light, than winked out.

It was at night and I saw a large movement with bright lights outside. It was a large triangle shape with very bright, icy white lights, all the same size, not blinking. One light was at the tip and the others along the side. I couldn’t tell if there was anything in the center of this because it was too dark. It literally froze in place for 2 seconds and then went down toward the river very quickly and completely out of view. There was no noise, no other lights of any color and the lights on this did not blink light lights on planes do. Plus this thing was quite big.

The star like light was brighter than the brightest light from a satellite or star and it was a white light with no blinking or color, just white. It took about one minute to cross from Western sky to Eastern sky. I could see some stars through the clouds but this light Appeared to be below the clouds. Checked the time and it was 10:00pm.

It was an orange orb , in seconds it grew to be super bright and pouring out white hot light streams, almost looking like a diamond with bright bright orange and white, some small rays that were rainbow esque, a diamond. Hovered then kept going. Got smaller. Gone

Saw a Large black oval that I thought was a helicopter while driving south bound on I405 above Newcastle. It was large enough to be a helicopter, but the silhouette was smooth, and on the left side there was a green blinking light. It was not moving, and it was completely silent, and stayed above in the air in one spot the entire time I passed by it.

Yelm, WA
I was in my room and I saw 3 almost translucent/holographic small sort of dark bell-shaped objects appear all in a row and of equal size in a straight line, they hovered around as if I was being observed - they moved around the room a bit and then disappeared. While they were present, I stuck my arm out and moved it through the objects from left to right, as I did that - the cross section appeared as maroon with some yellow where my arm cut through them, this is how I know they were not just a trick of the eye or something like that- I interacted with them by doing this. Perhaps multi-dimensional? Also on 13Jul23, I was sleeping at my parent's house (they live on farmland in Enumclaw, WA) and I woke up around midnight to the dog barking. As I lifted my head up, I caught a dark image through the blinds moving away from the window - the window is waist high so it had to have been a taller subject and I recognized the movment to be strange/not like any animal. I got up and checked outside from all of the windows and saw nothing however it is dark in the felds. I went to lay back down and I saw through the blinds a light move from left to right quickly and then disappear- there is no light source in their backyard and no aircraft moves like that (that we know of). The dog stopped barking. Never in my life have I experienced anything like this that I am aware of at least.

Not only did we see things flying through the sky for hours above the Sol Duc river, we also had strange phenomena happen at 11:30, 12:30 and 2:12 am involving a bright flood light type light shine on our tent ( remote camping ) without a sound. Every time my husband got the tent window unzipped it went off. I was truly and still am petrified about what happened that night.

Seattle, WA
We noticed a strange metallic object reflecting light in the sky and spinning around and drifting. It looked to be the same distance away as the jet planes we also saw flying that day, but further away than the planes taking off from the nearby SeaTac Airport. Based on this distance it was around the same size as a small jet plane. It was S shaped (letter Z, number 2 or 5, etc). It spun around but did not follow the same direction of the wind that the clouds were being blown in. It changed direction, descended a little bit once, changed direction again, and then ascended out of view. It is unclear if the lights that we were seeing were from the aircraft or if it was reflecting sunlight, but it did seem to be propelled by its own power source.
