It was a dark cylindrical object. It was traveling from the north to the south. Clear blue skies. It rolled, and turned when it did it glinted metallic. Not a loose banner, not a bunch of balloons. Something very odd, no sound. Observed for 20 minutes or more

What at first appeared to be bright star suddenly popped up. It was oval shaped and had red and white and green fast moving lights, much much faster than a plane. It wobbled in a very strange way and sort of seemed to drunkenly stagger around in its movements and then moved slowly away in the opposite direction.

Four of us star/planet gazing. Checking out Jupiter with binoculars in attempt to see its moons. Jupiter was almost due south, maybe a few degrees east of due south. Guessing 20 degrees above horizon. Turned away for a second, other 3 witnesses started saying "what is that". Look again toward Jupiter. (unit for distance I will use the width of thumbnail at arm's length). About 1 unit left (east) of Jupiter and 2 or 3 below, two bright lights had now appeared, one exactly over the other. Spacing between the two lights was one unit or very close. Brightness of each was not quite as bright as Jupiter, or brighter than the few stars around Jupiter. Motion, barely detectable, but I felt they were moving north. The top one dimmed out in about 3 to 4 seconds, and then the bottom one dimmed out in the same amount of time. Checked phone app, could not find any satellites to match this close pair. Found some that were about a minute and a half ap! art on the app I have, but nothing found being that close together. One witness perceived their height to be lower than jet liner altitudes. I could not tell. My perception of their speed, after spotting satellites for years, is that they were moving far slower than the usual satellites I see. We did see the ISS at 22:25 hours as well.

Second time this week I was awoken from a sound sleep by eerie rythmatic pulsating like sound that seemed to be coming from outside up in the sky. Was much louder at first then seemed to be moving farther away. Lasted about 2 hrs or more.

Shoreline, WA
On 7/28/19 my boyfriend and I had gone out for a cigarette before bed while on vacation in Seaside, OR, and noticed an extremely bright white light in the sky that appeared above the ocean and moved over head. It was moving too quickly to be a star and too slow to be a plane. There were no other lights than the constant bright white moving silently over the sky. We watched it for about 5 minutes until it slowly grew dimmer before our eyes and disappeared. Upon ariving home in Shoreline, Wa, on 7/29/19 and also going out for a smoke around 10:20 at night, we witnessed the exact same phenomena. Bright white light traveling overhead for about 5 minutes, too quickly to be a plane and too slow for a star, until it slowly disappeared. I must also note, both nights have been clear skys with no clouds.

Puyallup, WA
Me and my wife were sitting on our back porch. I saw a bright light in the distance hovering over some trees. After a few seconds it shot straight up and disappeared. It was a clear night out as well, the whole thing was about 15 seconds. Happened too fast to get pictures.

The night of the July 28th, 2019 around 11:30 pm my daughter and I were watching meteor showers from our back deck, when we noticed a bright white object traveling at a high rate of speed. It was large and moving fast; my daughter said it was moving toward us. We couldn’t hear any sound; we kept asking each other what the heck this thing was. When it got right in front of us it just disappeared in a blink of an eye. It was so weird we watched to see if it would reappear but it didn’t, it was if it knew we were watching. We stayed out looking and watching for about half an hour and only saw a few more meteors and a couple of satellites.

My son noticed the object first. 1) The object appeared 4 nights in a row around 23:05 2) Relatively the same area and placement in the sky. 3) Vaguely Diamond shaped. 4) Was brighter than the stars 5) Was a yellow light. 6) Move left to right and then in a circular pattern. 7) There was airline traffic alternately above an below the object within a 2 minute time frame. 8) When the object left our view it winked out like a light turned off.

This same thing happened 3 clear times. There were other high flying US planes to compare speed, trajectory etc. as well. Locater in the PNW, I was facing westerly centering myself with a bright star I later determined to be Zenith. The more complex part is that while trying to telepathically communicate with this star, when showing emotion the object were responding to my feeble attemps at communication. I dont drink or use drugs. I was sober. I absolutely believe we all should be looking up. Not just for a moment or two. But spend and hour go sit under the stars. Let your eyes adjust. You CAN communicate with it all if you let it happen. This is also the first of any such article I have ever written on this or any similar subject. I believed enough to find this page and offer my contribution. I now believe. I will be back out tonight and each night! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

It was around 11:18PM, and my friends and I were hanging out outside when I see an orb appear out of nowhere in the west. At first I thought it was Arcturus, but it got brighter and was moving towards me. (I love astronomy, and am always looking up when I'm outside.) It was a bright light yellowish color, not blinking and no noise. It was flying as close to us as a lower flying airplane, so I thought maybe it was a drone. As it headed east and passed above us, we noticed there was a smaller orb following at the same speed behind it probably as far back as a plane's length or a little more. It looked like the smaller orb was following it or being “towed.” Again, no noise or blinking lights. There was no deviation in its brightness. I was able to grab a video on my phone but it only captured the larger or the two. It kept moving east at the same speed, and we watched as it continued out of view.

Object looked very large flying from east to west. Object was very high in the sky and looked like 50 satellites combined into one large UFO. This object was by far the largest I have seen in my life. I am 50 years old. It was moving very fast and completely silent. It wasn't skipping across our atmosphere and it didn't appear to be burning. This UFO never changed in color. The color was a bright soft white color. There was no colored lights blinking indicating that it was an aircraft. After about 45 seconds it vanished from full brightness to nothing. My 18 year old son was with me. I will never forget what I saw last night. I tried to video with my phone and couldn't zoom in to get a good video. I did try and saved what I have.

We were sitting outside stargazing when we saw a strange looking object among the stars. We noticed it began to flash red and blue as well as the white light. It is stationary and has not moved, and it’s too far and high to be a cell tower. It has also grown in size throughout the duration of watching it.

Unusual bright "star" which I viewed out my window while seated on the couch. Caught my attention because it was unusually bright, being near the horizon. I looked at it out the window for several minutes, then went out onto my front stoop, where it very slowly moved out of sight. It did not appear to be over my neighborhood, but rather, it seemed closer to SeaTac airport or perhaps over Fairwood/Kent. There was no noise. It appeared to pulsate.

Stepped out to with dog before ebbed. Noticed a moving light in the northern sky about the size of "Venus ?". It was moving very slowly. No sound. No flashing lights like an airplane would have. It slowly disappeared as I watched it. I live near an airport and see dozens of planes daily. This was very different! Moved north east as it traveled. I took a video but it is grainy and doesn't show much.

It dipped down and was lower than airplanes themselves. Boeing Field may have a record of it.

I was watching the lighting storm from my living room window on the south hill in Spokane on 53rd street, while my girlfriend was in the bathroom. There was a large volume of lightning. All of a sudden I saw a blue beam of light shoot down from the sky at a 45 degree angle, and it was thick. It was about a 7 foot wide beam of light and I was approximately 1000 feet relative to the event. There's no way I could be the only person who saw this. It didn't look like any light any person could have possibly owned. This thing shot way up into the clouds and was intense. It remained a solid beam of light for approximately 20 seconds and then disappeared. This was absolutely not lightning by any chance whatsoever. I know what lightning looks like. This was CLEAR.

Small round white sphere, about the shape of a soccer ball in the sky. It looked almost translucent at times, and was tensile, reminding me of a large cell wall. When I first noticed it, it was roughly 60-80 feet above me. There were no clouds in the sky, which is rare for Seattle, and I was able to follow it up until my eyes couldn’t focus on it any longer. The sphere moved left and right erratically but ascended quickly, moving by two commercial planes, and continued far above them.

The craft was spotted while looking up for a while at all of the movement they call satellites when looking off at the Little Dipper noticed there was a second brighter star under the middle star of the Pans handle which sat there for a while then got brighter and started to move erratically came down 2 what we believe was Observe and then zigzagged a little bit more and took straight off up and disappeared. All I can say was wow what a sight to witness and our camera just wasn't strong enough to get it on film.

I was sitting outside watching the sky hopeing that the craft my and my brothers saw came back and I could snap a picture of it. My little brother came out and pointed to the sky at a glowing orange orb that kinda shifted shape, moving slow right over our house twards Entiat, made no sound and was super low, I'd say 1000 feet, the size was a nickel at arm's length

I was sitting in a chair in my backyard at approximately 17:30. I looked overhead in a southerly direction and I saw a cigar-shaped object. This object was moving slowly, if at all, in a southwest direction. It was silver and the late afternoon sun was reflecting brightly on it. This object had no wings or rotors and there was no sound coming from it. I observed it for about 20 seconds. I got up and ran into my house to grab my binoculars. By the time I came back out (25 seconds later-I timed myself later) it was gone. No sound – nothing.

I walked outside to take the recycling to our bin and was looking at the moon in the South before catching the light peripherally to my left. At first, I thought it to be the planet that has been in the night sky near the Moon as of late, but then realized it was in a different position than that. I then thought maybe it was a plane as a good number of them fly over this area, but it seemed to be moving slower and there was no low rumble accompanying it. I then concluded it must be a satellite. That made perfect sense until the light slowly began to reduce in size and fade. I took a few steps to my left to see around a tree branch, but it evanesced just after I caught sight of it again. Perhaps it was just a meteor in the atmosphere? Or ball lightning at a high altitude? Seemed a bit lax in speed for those as well though.
