Mill Creek, WA
I was out for a late night walk and saw an object with a string of white lights running along its side, and there were also a few red blinking lights. The sky was too dark to see what shape it was. At first it was moving very slow so I thought it might be an airplane, but then it stopped and didn't move for a long time. Then near it, a large round explosion of bright light flashed for a second, then disappeared, but the object remained. The flash of light was larger than the object. I walked home and could still see it in the sky, but after 20 minutes I went inside. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Spokane, WA
At 9:45 PM, my fiancé and I were sitting on our porch, and at 211 degrees SW (on our compass) near downtown/lower south hill of Spokane, a bright orange light appeared within our vision. It was moving too fast to be any plane and there was no noise whatsoever ever. The light looked like it was falling from the sky or falling down towards the horizon. The event lasted around 15 seconds and my fiancé and I both saw it. We knew it was something strange because a meteor would have some kind of tail and be moving much faster. But a plane at that distance could not move that fast.

Three lights come together and disappear. 05/10/2019 01:30 am Sudden Valley, (Bellingham) Wa. 98229 Compass reading (260 degree W.) about 30 degree Altitude. 48,42,44 N / 122,19.44W At 1:30 am early morning I went on my deck to get fresh air. Looking up in the western clear sky. Little dipper appeared to the right. As I looked down and to the left, above the treeline yet higher in the sky, but not too high, appeared three lights, connected together. They looked as if they could be attached to each other? Just a brief, possibly 3-4 seconds and then it appeared to have closed into themselves, but no single light, it just disappeared, lights just turned off. Like turning on a light then turning a light off that quick. These were bright white lights, no color. Sudden valley is very quiet, there was no sounds heard. All three lights, together about the size of little finger nail at arm's length.

I work night shift. So I am up at night. At the time it was May so it was warm and I had my window open. As I am watching videos online, I notice a bright light like an airplane with its fog lights on. But it is fading randomly. Like its loosing power or something. It isn't making sound or getting any closer. It is just there stationary in the sky. So I go out in the front yard and film it. And it is a white light like a bright star or high up plain coming head on. But it's not going anywhere. And it is just the one bright light. But it is randomly fading in and out. It doesn't have a pattern or other lights. I have the video. I want to know how to send it to you. I watched it for 15 or 20 minutes before I went out into my front yard and made the 5 and some seconds video.

I live near the main airport here. And my job has route that fly above and near me. This orb of light i would call seemed to be using the sun as cover. I knew it was watching me. It tried to hide behind a tree once I spotted it. Like it darted and came to a complete stop. Its movements were as if you were to move computer mouse and watch the arrow move. Very swift and precise. I was running to get my phone playing my music. I knew I wouldn't make it. So, I stopped and watched it just fade away. I have seen this odd orb before. When I have seen this type it sometimes splits into 3 orbs and takes off. I don't like to call it a UFO. It makes me look/sound crazy. But this wasn't of earth. And it's easier to dismiss than to prove fact. I don't have many I can tell this to that believe me. So here you go. Hope someone else saw this. Just so I help you feel less crazy. You aren't. The earth is not what we think.

4 bright whitish yellow lights completely silent and weaving between each other abnormally close to each other. hear and saw plane after plane, about 6, chasing the lights in circle over and over trying to get close to the lights. we do not ever have multiple low circling airplanes at night going in circles (ESPECIALLY at night)

Orb floated down from sky. Definitely not a lens flare. Including a closeup I did in Photoshop where I tweaked contrast and colors. You can see a Aurora around the sphere and something inside, energy or something? Home elevation is approx. 1800 feet up looking West towards coast. Lifted up and then disappeared. My friend actually witnessed it. Took shot with iphone 11

3 50-80' tall with Egyptian designs on them. One of the ships had a small sphere shaped craft on it with 2 aliens on it. I have pictures. When I was driving away I saw 1 more craft. With an alien on it. I have pics of it, too.

Port Townsend, WA
One morning last week, I think it was April 2, I was lying awake in bed about midnight. Looking out the window at the Salish Sea, I saw 2 bright red lights in the sky. They were above and parallel to the water. The lights were a short distance apart. As I watched I saw a red beam come from between the two lights and down to the beach in front of my house. I think the red beam was a laser beam. As I watched the red beam disappeared, and the two lights faded into the distance. I have seen bright lights in the sky before but did no report them.

Richland, WA
I watched a perfect triangle silently float above me and travel east in the exact altitude of approximately 5k' from Benton Co, across the Columbia River, into Franklin Co, across the Snake river, and on into the next county of Walla Walla. The triangle was very bright! Red/orange in color. Every square foot of the bottom of the craft looked like molten metal, like an acetylene torch heating up steel. I watched the craft silently float on by for about 1 minute and travel about 20 miles until it was out of sight. I know this, because I drive that main direction to work and have lived in this area for over 40 years.

My son and I had just gone for a bike ride around Greenlake in North Seattle because it was a very nice, clear afternoon. When we returned home a little before 6:00 PM, we were laying in the grass in the front yard looking up at the blue sky and noticed an faint object very high in the sky that was moving north to south at a slow speed. It had the appearance of a white point of light, like a satellite, but it was during the daytime. It appeared to be too high to be a commercial aircraft and it was moving too slow. I thought it might be a satellite also because it appeared to almost drift at times, but then I noted it would make sudden bursting movements. After a few minutes, my son noticed another object and it appeared the two objects were approaching each other. At that time, I called my wife and daughter outside and they could see the two objects as well. Eventually, the two objects came so close together they seemed to briefly merge. The two objects then separated and that’s when we saw the third object, but not before I saw a streak of light that resembled a faint meteor, streak near the objects. The three objects then held a tight triangular formation for a few minutes until their luminosity faded to the point where we couldn’t see them anymore. Afterwards, we all discussed what we saw and we all agreed we saw the same thing. This sighting was during broad daylight but one would have had to be looking straight up at the sky to see it, and even then you would have had to be focusing fairly intently to see and track the objects. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Mr. Davenport - The objects were too far/faint to show up with the cell phone camera. We tried with multiple devices but they just were not seen with the camera. I would provide the information I provided you to the local media if they were interested. But without video or pictures, I am not sure they would be interested. Thank you, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

Sitting on front porch, I looked up into the sky and saw a very bright red “star”. I kept observing while it slowly got closer to the house. I watched it for about 20 more seconds as it kept coming closer. No other lights were seen so it ruled out airplane. (Mind you, an airplane did fly over about 1 minute after orb was seen). Still watching, it started to “what looked like” turn left very slowly and started moving upwards into the sky and then just vanished... I continued to look where it disappeared to see if I could see any other lights but to no such luck. I’ve seen airplanes, helicopters, satellites, and shooting stars. I’ve never seen nothing like it.

Ocean Shores, WA
She popped up and instantly saw what at first to me had looked like a very bright Mars but by the time she got up and was observing it it had doubled in magnitude. You could see all the other stars in the sky around it which had there normal bluish color but this was orange red and it began pulsing. We both were in amazement as to what it was. It remained stationary. After several minutes of it getting progressively brighter, all of a sudden it got very bright then completely just vanished. It did not fly away but just went out. I am a retired school teacher and my wife a real estate agent and are rational people but this was as clear as it could be. We have not seen! anything like it before over the ocean at night here at our beach home. Unexplainable both of us felt as if it knew we were watching it and disappeared, but then again we do believe in life on other planets but this took us by surprise. And all the facts of the visual observation are facts but the feeling part we understand is subjective however it was very strange feeling watching it just disappear when all the backdrop of stars remain plenty bright. Thank you

Noticed a star moving at 90 degree turns quickly and eraticly changing directions faster than anything I've witnessed before. It did this for about 3 to 4 minutes. No sound. Basically a star on some joyride. I know what I saw.

The Dalles area, WA
On March 20, 2019, at 10:14 PM, I saw it. Two huge slightly slanted, rectangular, ”neon green,” lights, both the exact size, one on top of the other. (they were slanted due to the speed they were falling closely resembled an equal sign) It disappeared behind clouds and the mountain-possible water or national park area... I did not hear it crash. I could not see any indication that it did. I pulled over to view a map and see which roads would be best to cut over the mountain and follow the trajectory. (because that is totally safe and makes perfect sense Right?!) While I did, I saw a falling star, I got out of my car looking at the sky. Got locked out. It took an hour for roadside. So at this point was the shooting star a very lucky occurrence.. Anyhow the next day I drove around for a bit but lost the connection. Yet been thinking what if ”some being” needs help out there. But seriously. Whatever, however, that happened it did. I wasn't going to post anything but there was another couple around same time and area seeing a green light was going to check car dashcam?,, sigh. Has anyone else experience anything like? Thanks. Peace out :)

Looking towards the Constellation Gemini, clear night, a third star like object that made a triangle vanished and did not return. Checking star walk, there should not have been a third bright light in the first place. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Seattle, WA
Just below Ursa Major I saw a strange light that was moving very slowly, it then stopped. A few seconds later it got really bright and flashed a blue light. It sat there for another couple seconds and then started moving again in a different direction. It repeated a larger blue flash this time and then seemed to have took off at a rapid speed. The object was blue in color and oval. This is not the first time I have seen this Blue Light Ship, it happens frequently. I would say at the very least I see the red basketball size orbs twice a week over Magnolia, Seattle. During the day and at night. This has been going on for many years although the Blue Ovals are new within the last 2 months.

Spokane Valley, WA
On March 13, 2019, approximately 6:30pm I was driving west in the Spokane Valley, WA, and saw 3 cylinder objects in the sky. I thought they were jets at first but could see that they were not because they were long silver cylinders in shape and not moving with lights. There was no white smoke coming from them either like jets. The 3 long cylinders were placed in a half moon shape. The sky was clear. I noticed off to the left but looked far from them was a jet for sure because it had a trail of white smoke. I was concerned and went home as fast as I could. Called my brother about it and he told me to report it on your sight. Do you know what these cylinders are?

Lakewood, WA
I never thought I would be making a UFO report to NUFORC, but I suppose there is a first time for everything.. I was on my way to Seattle from the Lakewood 512 Park and Ride, riding on the #594 Sound Transit this morning. It was a sunny and clear morning at about 9:15 am after we had merged onto the I-5 Northbound somewhere around 84th st exit, or a little past that, but way before the Tacoma Dome, I was looking out the bus window, sitting in the very back- left or driver side-seat; I witnessed up in the sky to the west (about a ¼ mile out), not far from the freeway, what appeared to be-2 silent, silver orb or sphere like objects (3 to 5 ft in diameter?), that were either reflecting the sun or had sun like-light emanating from them (hard to tell)-flying at insanely high rates of speed and what looked-to-me like one was chasing after the other! At first thought, the most logical explanation I was thinking was,“ Wow, those are some fast moving drones!! ” But then I quickly realised that that was impossible due to the fact that they were travelling way too fast, making dive bombing and zig zagging motions thru the sky and stopping and then darting off at a right angle and then shooting straight back up into the sky and then disappeared! As I witnessed this I pointed and yelled to my friend who was sitting 2 seats forward, directly in front of me, “Nate, look! Look! What the hell are those?! ” He immediately glanced out his window to his left and scanned the skies but couldn’t see what i was seeing. A few other passengers glanced up from their smartphones and looked at me like I’m crazy and then went back to whatever it was that they were doing. So, I seem to be the only one who witnessed this 10 to 15 second event. It happened so fast that I didn’t even have a chance to try and get video of it with my own smartphone, which I really wished I had been able to do, because nobody is gonna believe this...I hardly believe it myself! I do know that Fort Lewis McChord joint army/air force! base is very close to here. So, is possible it could of been something from there they were testing? If so, I’ve never seen anything move like that and at those speeds in all my life! They literally defied our known laws of physics. If anyone else witnessed what I saw, please report it! I know that even tho my friend didn’t see what I saw, he believes me and knows that I don’t make things up. But, it would be reassuring to know that I didn’t hallucinate the event and am not the only witness, and that perhaps someone else from this area of Washington had seen it too and can corroborate my story. Thank you.
