Scanning the night sky I caught a moving object above the NE horizon that appeared to be a satellite moving at typical speed. Once I focused on the object I saw a second similar object trailing relatively close behind moving at identical speed. I followed their trail for a few moments then suddenly the lead "satellite" took an acute right angle maneuver with a speed of that of a shooting star and disappeared. The trailing "satellite" a second or two later performed the same maneuver. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Pulsating orange craft seen overhead from outside my apartment in north Bellingham, near the airport. In fact, it was in approximately the same place in the sky that I saw a similar craft in December of 2013, though this one appeared to be at a higher altitude (or was smaller). It was alternately hovering, then moving very slowly to the north. After about 2 minutes, it began to gradually fade in brightness, disappearing within another minute.

Was out around 1:00 AM that night. I saw a glowing orb in the sky for a split second. There looked like there were aircraft chasing the object. Was hiding in cloud cover. Was a cloudy night.

I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall back asleep so I was just staring out my window. There was what I thought was a plane that was very far away or a star because when I first saw it it was blinking kind of like a plane or a distant star would. But I realized that it was moving but it wasn’t moving like a plane at all which is what caused me to continue watching it. Eventually the light stopped blinking and just stayed lit. The movements seemed to be very random. The best way I can describe it is that it was moving very slowly from the south to the north and it would randomly make sudden up and down movements. Then after watching it for about 45 minutes the objects light all of a sudden faded very fast and it was gone.

Date: July 5, 2019 2:07pm It was lowest tide of the year so my parents Dad 83 and Mom 83 took my sister 54 and her husband 52 and their son 18, two daughters 21 and 19 with my two youngest 7 and 6 down to the beach to comb for sealife you normally don’t get to see because it’s usually underwater. I had driven separately and arrived to the beach late around 2:00 after the family had been down there for a while and were venturing slowly up the rocky beach towards me as i came down the path to the beach. I walked quickly towards my parents who were sitting together on a bench above the beach on a grassy ledge overlooking the water and my Mom asked if I had seen /heard what they had just seen /heard up in the sky. They had and they both described a strange shaped flash of light that just disappeared and made a strange rolling sound ?!? At that moment my sisters son; from the beach below, pointed in the same direction as my parents and shouted”Oh look, a saucer”. I quickly reached for my phone and realized it was not in my back pocket where it usually was. I had left it up in the truck so I ran as fast as I could back up to the path to the parking lot open the door and grabbed my cell phone and ran back down the path all of which took me probably about one minute. I took out my phone and instead of taking low resolution video I decided to take as high-resolution photographs as I possibly could and started clicking clicking clicking in the direction of which I had seen the pop of light. Aiming at the clouds I had seen the objects near previously. I’m taking these photographs and I’m looking around and I noticed the rest of my family all looking out there as well - seemingly entranced by what they were looking at. Very strange shape; it’s a small silver disc with a little white oval or cigar shaped spark that follows near it darting all around. It seems to shutter or skip across the sky, you get a glimpse of it in one place and then a slight glimpse of it again and then suddenly it’s in the whole new place far far down the length of the sky. All in the blink of an eye. As we all collectively watch the disc suddenly seems to slow and the white cigar or tic-tac shaped spark seems to stop and fire a white thread like white beam that opens a white square and with it another silver disc seems to pop in or out of the square and then shoot off as the white tic-tac shaped light disappears quickly after them in the same direction.

Had contacted you in April last year, 2018, regarding a strange spider like craft, or more like a surveillance entity with an opaque oval nucleus, and 8-12 wavy wire- like legs, darker than nucleus, with each having a black 1-2 cm disk on the ends. This thing scampered across ceiling and disappeared into the wall where ceiling and wall converge. I gave a time for the 7/5/19 incident, but was not by my phone or a clock. I’d guess it was around 1-3 am since it was totally dark outside. No lights or tv was on inside. I was on a sofa on my back asleep and suddenly awoke to the same kinds of lines or “legs” fanning out bout 2’ from the end of sofa... so less than 3 ‘ from my feet. There were no black disks on the ends, same guess on number ..8-12 lines....curvy or wavy.. about 10” in length... all same length. Before I could sit up, the entity faded away in the same place....didn’t travel like in Cle Elum. (I have since sold the Cle Elum home, but nothing related to the 4/4 incident) Since it dissipated, I couldn’t see if it branched out of a nucleus where I would assume the legs more or less converged together (??) since they fanned outwards and slightly waving motion... No sound or illumination. I checked “emitted beams” because those legs could have been (??) Just for info., I was pet sitting (no reaction from dogs in adjacent room) and I have since stayed a few more nights in the same home, but with no oddities that I’m aware of. Also, just to know, I was not under any influence of any drugs or alcohol, which I do not consume on any habitual basis. I saw what I saw again, and it somehow awoke me. I get that it was harmless, taking readings ...and this probably goes on with thousands of others, wether they realize it or not.

Kent, WA
I had just submitted a report about 15 minutes before we saw this last fireball light. This fireball light was similar to the previous one I reported (fireball). It lifted above the horizon from the northeast, and slowly traveled south before stopping in the sky. We live close to Sea-Tac airport, and noticed it stoped in the flight path of departing airplanes to the west. I filmed the object, and within 45 seconds a airplane came into the frame of video heading right towards the fireball shaped light. As the plane approached the light, it made a obvious and deliberate deviation away from the light. I have this on video. The airplane left the frame of video, while the fireball light remained. The light stayed visible for approximately 30 seconds more before vanishing.

During 4th of July fireworks, a big fireball shaped orb came from the northwest over lake Morton and disappeared in the middle of the open sky about 15 seconds after observed. I filmed the object, and after the first disappeared... 30 seconds later a second came from the same spot, and disappeared in approximately the same location.

Was watching the fireworks this Fourth of July with my ex boyfriend, when I noticed an orangish light just above the tree line. It would be visible and then disappear, I watched it do that 3 times. At first, he thought it was something related to the fireworks that I was seeing, but he realized it was not fireworks when the light came back and moving fast, from south to north then abruptly making a sharp turn and headed east, then it just vanished. This happened a couple of times before I had the presence of mind to get my phone and try to capture it on video. Literally the moment I started to video it, it vanished. Waited and waited, but it didn't come back. Until after the next weird ass thing happened. As I'm looking for this light, I see an enormous blue laser light cutting across the sky. I've never seen s laser that was that big, nor have I seen a blue one. My house is situated on a hill overlooking the valley, the orangish light had been over the mount! ains to the west and the laser came from the north (either from Colville Mountain or very close). The laser beam was very big and the intensity was so strong, it stretched across the sky. It was very brief, though. I have talked to a third person who also witnessed the laser, but from another location. After the laser went out, I noticed the orangish light was back, but now it was in the vicinity of where I had seen the laser. Once again, it flew along the tree line, back and forth a few times before it disappeared. I did get some video of what was happening, the quality is horrible (I am not an accomplished camera operator), but the light I was seeing is distinguishable. You can even see when it changes to an almost red color. Forgive the fact that my ex is totally bombed and providing non-stop commentary in the back ground :) I really do not know what I saw, only that it did not look like anything I've ever seen before.

My fiance and myself went to the westport marina to watch the fireworks at approximately 10 pm on july 4th 2019 when we noticed a ball on fire floating across the sky, but spinning it would burn out after a few minutes but stay solid black flying like it had a purpose towards the ocean towards ocean shores then after it was almost out of view we noticed two more following the first one doing exactly the same thing making absolutely no noise. It wasn't fireworks I'm sure. An older army vet next to us witnessed this too he said he never saw anything like that in his life he said it didn't look military or like a drone.

I was at the neighbors house, just stepped outside, at the base of a valley, surrounded by forests on all sides. I look to the northern sky and notice what looked like a red blur at first appeared to be multiple red lights in the sky. When I was looking at the lights, they appeared to be a couple of miles away and above the tree line. There isn't any radio towers in that direction from where I live, and the objects did not flash at all. To me they didn't seem to be making a symmetrical formation from where I was. My neighbor and I were talking and I interrupted her to show her the lights. I asked do you see that?? She said yeah the red lights up there? So that confirmed to me that I wasn't just having an optical illusion/hallucination. I've seen lights and strange behavior of lights in the night sky that I can't explain, but I haven't ever seen a cluster of red ones.

Somewhere between I would say 1900-1910 hours this evening (June 13, 2019), my husband and I were sitting outside in our little popup camper, enjoying the cooler air and listening for bird sounds. The just out of the sky, we hear this enormously loud trumpet blast, three times! (He said it sounded more like a trombone because of its timbre.) On my piano, I found the notes were within a four-key (such as C,E,E and F - a major key signature) and were slurred (no break in-between the four-note phrase). Each blast lasted about a second. So loud! We both agreed we had never heard anything like this and have no idea what could've been its source except to say that it came from the sky! We discussed all of the options we could think of and came up with nothing that we're aware of that could emit these blasts. We are both retired Federal employees. I am a former Public Affairs Officer for the USFS. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Actually, we are located east of Reardon and west of Spokane (just west of the ATV park just west of the Spokane River) in a coulee. I don't think I was very accurate in my description of where we were because I was still stirred up over that noise! If you travel Highway 2 east of Reardon, Coulee Hite Road is a left hand turn off Highway 2. We were sitting in our little pop up camper which we have set up on our ranch property right now; it's so nice to enjoy our coffee there because it's cool (in the morning and evening) with the breezes. I will ask our neighbors if they have heard any noises. We heard another one last night, but just a single loud blast; however, it was different from the three blasts we heard the other evening. In fact, my husband and I are still talking about it, racking our brains for trying to remember anything similar that we've heard but so far, no luck! ((END ADDENDUM))

The visible portion of the UFO seemed to represent the classical disk/saucer shape with highly reflective body surfaces. The bonus for me was that I had not seen other descriptions identifying a triangular structure along the top edge of the craft. The triangular structure ran from a point high on the fuselage, its vertex, to the full outside edge circumference of the craft where its height above the center of the craft appeared to match the height of the point where it merged with the fuselage. It looked like the outside surface of the triangular structure was made of the purest of gold, highly reflective with a bright golden color. The pattern on the golden structure consisted of square panels that each appeared to be slightly concave. Each panel appeared to have engraved patterns something like hieroglyphics distributed around the outer 2/3 of each panel. The golden structure appeared to be a hollow port of some kind based on the end facing me that showed a darkening interior further back from the close end “opening” of that structure. No heat waves were visible from the port or any surface on the ship. I could not see the entire ship but if it was a disk I estimate its diameter to be 200 feet or more. I estimate the ship was sitting at an elevation between 600 and 900 feet above ground. The ship stood rock solid at a constant elevation and did not move laterally in any direction. There wasn’t the slightest noise or sound of any kind coming from its direction. I became worried that I might be detected by the ship, a situation that could end badly for me if they didn’t want to be seen. I decided not to point my camera in its direction. Instead I began photographing a barn about 45 degrees north of the ship location. When I looked back the ship was gone, the cloud opening was mostly there but not the ship. Since the sighting I have been looking for reports of similar ships but I have not seen anything like it. So I prepared this report and two sketches of the UFO to share and learn if anyone else has seen a ship like the one I saw. I made one drawing of the structure to be as detailed as possible and used it in the second sketch with clouds. The second drawing shows the segment of the ship I saw through the opening in the clouds. I apologize in advance for line work flaws. I am a photo editor not an artist.

I have spent most of my working life in the outdoors in Forestry. With four college degrees and being a published author, I’m used to giving accurate, detailed descriptions. Very analytical. This is what I saw on June 7, 2019, a Friday. There are military bases nearby, submarine traffic, shipping lanes, airports in this area. I’m used to seeing different types of military and civilian aircraft. I was standing on the back deck, with a beautiful, mostly sunny day. Jet engine noise made me look into the sky, and something caught my eye, coming from the south, moving very fast! By my calculations, it traveled from directly over my house, to East of Victoria, B.C., in two seconds! Made a 90-degree turn and headed towards Whidby Island and military installations. A small cloud obstructed my view of the turn, but there was no veering out to account for inertia in the turn. That I saw! There seemed to be a shimmer around what looked like, a wing shape, with no fuselage visible. The wing shape was slanted back about 15 to 20 degrees, and a shimmer was around the wing, and a straight edge was visible at the end of the wing shape, on both sides. No fuselage was observable. The leading edge of the wing appeared dark. Looked like a flying wing. And jet engine noise. The estimated distance traveled in two seconds was fifty miles!!! By my calculations…30,000 to 45,000 mph!!! ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Addendum to flying wing shimmering and 90 degree turn at speed of: 2 seconds travelling 10 miles Good talking to you, Peter. The following is my best recollection of what I saw. 10 miles is a reasonable distance for the object to have traveled in two seconds and would be traveling at 18,00mph!. At 50 miles, that’s still in U.S. territory and 2 seconds would be about 90,000mph. The background was blue sky when I saw what looked like, a flying wing. That's what it looked like. A loud roar like that of a military jet passed over our house. That's why my wife and I looked up, but I was the only one who saw this object. Three-seconds and it was gone. It came from the direction of the Olympic Mountains, (Mt Olympus is 7900ft.) so I think it was descending. The small cumulus cloud I saw I estimate at 3000ft because 3300ft is the usual lowest altitude for Cumulus clouds, which the object passed through. No way they were at 10,000ft. Using my clinometer, (I am a trained surveyor and forester, also a Navy veteran). I calculated a 10-degree upward slope, at 45 degree azimuth, looking at the object. I immediately went inside the house to draw what I had seen. 10 miles out, towards Canada, is where I think it made a 90-degree turn, heading East. This would coincidentally point it towards military bases in the area. At 10 miles, the calculated speed was 18,000 miles per hour! (2 seconds and 10 miles away) Also coincidence, close to escape velocity of 25,000mph. Slowing down on landing approach? It was in broad daylight and whatever it was, did not appear to be in trouble or care if anyone saw it. I’m not an artist but this the shape of what I saw and the ‘shimmer’ around the flying object: a boomerang shape with a 15 degree back angle on the wings. About double the size of the sun, using your thumb as a reference. Like you said Peter, I hope this is ours. ((END ADDENDUM)) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. However, we question his assumptions about distance and velocity. Witness provides hand-drawn image of what the object looked like to him. PD

A friend and I were traveling east on highway 2, just about 2 miles before the Interstate 90 freeway entrance. When suddenly to the south direction, I noticed some very strange lights coming up over the trees heading west as we were going south. This object was massive, I'd say it was a 1/2 mile away from our car, and from that distance, I would say that this thing was easily over 500 feet high and 3 to 400 feet wide. It had two arms protruding out in front of it and it appeared to have a head and face in the middle. It was making a very loud vibrating sound and would occasionally rise up higher and was churning the ground up as it traveled and this object looked as if it had a large body or it was riding on a very large machine. In the morning or when i woke up i had absolutely no memory of seeing this or did I even rememberthat i had filmed ir until 4 days ago when i was going through the video in my phone. I didn't know what I was looking at when i watched t! he video until i played it a few times and some of that morning started to come back. I want you to watch the video. And please help me figure out what we saw. I can tell you that this thing had a organic like appearance. It qas a very powerfull sighting. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he assured us that the report is a sincere and honest account of what he and his friend had witnessed. We have requested an independent report from the other witness. PD
