Wenatchee, WA
Hello, At 6:45pm on February 23, 2018, I arrived at my home in Wenatchee, Wash., after having a music practice. I went into my backyard, as I always do, and I looked up into the sky, (I am a long time respected investigator/researcher, citizen scientist) There was a light storm approaching from the West, with light broken clouds . I immediately noticed 2 white balls of light moving perfectly together (when I held my hand up they were about the length of my hand from light to light), but then I saw there was a third light forming a triangle and this was coming from the East over Badger Mountain and flew over me going West into the storm, Then I noticed another one, 3 lights forming a massive triangle these were moving fairly slow but perfectly in unison with each other, then right next to it there was another one and behind it another one, there were about 5 to 6 giant triangles that I saw all moving together heading West over the twin peaks area, I ran inside and grabbed my camera and tried to get a picture of the formation but could only get 2 lights in the pictures I took, when I zoom in on the lights there seems to be more than one object and very strange forms . I look up into the sky every night and this is the first time I have seen these massive triangles over the Wenatchee area but I have also seen some very strange lights at out cabin on the summit of Badger Mountain and I saw a U.F.O. during the daylight while I was building our cabin and I reported it here .

Friday Harbor, WA
Strong winds had blown all night long making the early morning sky clear and dark, with the early morning stars and planets extra visible and a few of the larger ones were tinted orange-ish in color. I was driving into town on my way to the gym. With mornings like these, I love looking up at the sky. Because it’s so early in the morning there are no other cars around me. Town is empty. I always try to look up at the sky anyway because when I was about 16 years old, (roughly 1992) my father and I experienced a real UFO sighting together out in Palm Desert. That one was a major experience with an actual craft that moved like a shooting star after hovering in place for about an hour. My point is – because I look at the sky a lot, I’ve seen a lot of anomalies that I felt could have some explanation, and none of which were remotely similar as to what I saw that night out in the desert with my dad -- until this morning. I was driving slowly down Second Street, as I mentioned, looking straight ahead and up towards the clear black sky. Suddenly, right in front of me was this very, very white light that flashed in front of me and my initial response was that it was a shooting star. But there were two things that went with this that made me second guess the whole shooting star thing. First, the way it moved. I didn’t see where it came from but that it entered my field of vision from the right moving towards the left. And it moved just like a shooting star but into a upside down ‘U’ shape and just vanished ---not vanished from my field of vision like behind a tree or behind hills or a building--vanished. Disappeared. As if there were a tiny little pocket waiting for it and it dove into that. There was a trail of light and then there wasn’t. The second thing is that if it were a shooting star, it was way too close to the earth. We have small, single engine, prop personal planes, puddle jumpers and sea planes coming in and out of our tiny airport here. It was a similar distance to one of those little planes about to land. Like most islanders, I’m very familiar with these planes being around and what they look like when they are landing or taking off. This thing I saw moved and looked like a shooting star but was very close to the earth and moved in an arch shape before disappearing into a seeming pocket in the sky. A white light, no pulsating and no other lights, no other colors of light. I’m open to explanations! I would love to know your opinion on the matter. Sorry I don't have a photo, it happened too fast. Thank you!

I was driving and I thought it was only a light reflection and then the light started to move east but it looked nothing like an airplane and was way to low in the sky to be a shooting star. The light was about 3,000 maybe 4,000 feet in the air I estimate. One of the light disappeared and then one kept going for a while and then disappeared.

Sighting info: Observation location: 48 Deg. 6 Min. 44.02 Sec. North 123 Deg. 24 Min. 38.33 Sec. West As per Google Earth 1st seen at 168 Degrees Relative. Degrees above horizon 20 degrees +/- 5 degrees last seen at 113 Degrees Relative. Degrees above horizon 12 degrees +/- 5 degrees Information: I had just finished talking to my friend/neighbor on his front porch and was walking out the sidewalk to go back to my house across the street, when I looked up over my house and saw two objects enter my view from behind a tree in my yard and appeared to be entering the atmosphere traveling from West to East in the Southern sky. At first they appeared to be bright white in color and leaving a trail behind them, but as they progressed eastward they changed color from yellowish to orangish (could have been atmospheric conditions causing this). The lead object was larger in size (if I had to place a size reference, about the glow size when you see the International Space Station fly over) and was leaving a trail and the appearance of sparks like it was disintegrating in the atmosphere. The object trailing behind the first object a short distance was smaller (more like a common star size) was doing the same thing as the lead object, except that it would disappear from sight for a second, at those times you could see nothing indicating it was there, no trail or sparks... nothing. Then it would reappear and create a trail in the trail of the lead object with sparks and all, it would be visible for a second and disappear again for a second then reappear again. This continued through the entire time I was able to see them, before they could no longer could be seen, due to more trees.

I was driving north on I-20 at about 8:30-9pm. When i noticed a large Triangular craft that seemed to make no noise while flying through the sky. Theres a naval base on Whidbey Island, so crafts are not unusual although it was flying much lower than anything I have seen before. There were two almost spot light looking lights coming off the bottom. I only saw it for about 2 minutes, and it didnt make any extremely strange maneuver while i watched it.

My husband and our friend and I were just smoking a cig outside, when our friend pointed out a red lifht in the sky and said “watch that light, it’s doing weird things.” So all three of us watched as it continued kind of like a plane, but faster when it slowed down to stop and hovered for approximately 5 seconds then started traveling the opposite way. Then it stopped again and just disappeared. We were all yelling “whoa! It disappeared” and just then it reappeared and did the same thing again but this time it flashed white 2 or 3 times before it took off the other direction again. We watched it until it disappeared again. Waited for 5 minutes for it to reappear again but we are on the clock and had to get back to work. When it came to a stop it almost looked as though it bounced..like a ball in semi slow motion when you throw it against a wall. My iPhone couldn’t see it to get a video.

Three lights in the sky blinking as if two on the side and on in the middle. The sky was clear and no cloud cover. Three of us watched these Lights blink off and on as they did not move. Then suddenly three smaller craft arrived. They showed up out of nowhere! Two moved slow to the right and one began to climb at an incredible rate higher then the other objects and it was very bright. As we watch this the largest object began to turn to it's right and I know because the way the lights moved. As it turned, now this object had been sitting perfectly still for 10 minutes, and now it's moving and I can see that it's disk-shaped, and it's huge! Then suddenly the area it was in seemed to magically have a cloud for it to vanish behind..it was as if it made it's own camo, and it was gone..sat and watched the other lights move away..about 13 minutes passed now...and now it's back!!!! The largest is roated it's light back to it's original postion. No cloud!! Two of us decided to get in the car and go towards it. As we headed towards the direction I saw what must have been five police cars some with there lights on no sirens some grouped together and other cutting up and down streets. Then as I turned my vehicle away I saw a large..what I can only describe as ambulance type vehicle but twice as long white, no markings or plates??..with flashing red and orange lights .. When I got home I googled if anyone had seen anything..crazy cuz all these plates are suppose to be visible and then NASA even has a statement about being able to see the international space station tonight..now I don't recall anything in the paper about this, and I'm sure just like the eclipse we had everyone would of been outside to watch that..this was no space station..this was a large round craft with smaller craft in the same facility. And the way it made it's own cloud! I'm a complete skeptic but these wasnt what NASA said..this wasn't planets sattiles ...planets...it wasnt airplanes or helicopters..the planes would have been to close together and be able to hover at complete stand still. And I'm aware helicopters can hover but the way it turned it was one large vechicle and vanished only to reappear..and the way the other smaller ones appeared out of thin air!!?! And the bright one cutting be straight up.. commercial aircraft don't movie like that... Yes the climb but the move towards a direction as they do.this cut throught the sky lime a razor higher and higher..fast! then stopped...and as the large object made its first turn..the smaller bright craft was just gone, as if it bolted out of the atmosphere. Also, the lights were not the same as a plane..very strange stuff. We have attempted to contact by telephone the source of the report, but have not been successful in reaching him. A Yakima newspaper, at NUFORC's suggestion, has attempted to find corroborating information about the alleged sighting, but has been unable to find any other reports related to the event. PD

Went outside in the front of my place to dump trash bag, check for mail then tighten the mount for my flag, because of wind gusts. After I got done putting my flag up I turned to the east and seen an partially transparent object moving oddly to the southeast. I didn't hear any noise, it looked like it was floating and I could not make out what the shape of it was. All I seen was reflections coming off of it, cloudy with the sun light blocked out of the sky. It could of been metallic with a mirror type polish over it. Object was about a mile away floating around between 1000 feet to 2000 feet above the ground. My position was northwest of it, the area that it floated over is a high School. By the time I had went in and got my binoculars and back out, it had disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was coming back from renting a video game and was driving south on Yakima Ave, I saw 2 green lights zip over the street, they were up pretty bigh. I thought they were an airplane cause I live by McCord AFB but they were going to fast,these things were moving. I got to 56th in Yakima and saw them turn to the south, as they turned I saw the outline of 1, it was a triangle,it wasnt a stealth, it made no noise. I turned right on 56th and watched as they flew away to the south west, the Planes landing at McChord never go that way, it was no plane I've ever seen and ive lived 3 miles from the base all my life, this was unreal. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We suspect he is an excellent, and reliable, witness. PD

Crystal Mt. Ski Resort, WA
While filming a music video at Crystal Mt., Washington, I filmed well over 50+ UFO objects in the sky behind me. Only later in editing did I discover I had witnessed an event. While I have worked in film for sometime I have no experience in CGI or the latter. All of this was filmed on my IPhone and the footage remains untouched. Link to completed music video: https://youtu.be/6TTFUcIrlkw I would recommend downloading the video at 1080p so you are able to go frame by frame and see just how many objects are in this video. It is substantial and unnerving. I will directly email some selected pieces of footage to the webmaster email address. In one of the videos I will send you will note that one UFO actually splits a light in my hair, this means that they are aware of the camera angle and are possibly doing this on purpose!

Tonite I had a possible experience but no camera on me to back it up. Driving home to Anacortes, WA, looking west toward Camano island on the puget sound over the water (note there are small airports and an Air Force (sic. Navy) base nearby on Oak Harbor) Anyway it was dark and I had this feeling. Looked over to my left and saw two bright orange lights appear in the sky. Thinking not much of it since I always see planes in that direction coming at me. A third orange light appeared. Again thinking these are just possibly commercial flights coming in. As I tried to drive and watch at same time, the three bright lights lined up perfectly together. I then thought hmm. this is looking more like possible flares. Suddenly the lights changed formation in unison into the shape of a large triangle. I said well that's not right. I found a place in the dark to pull over on a farm out in the countryside. Turned off my car, turned off all my lights. I said, well if these are planes, they will come forward or turn or get bigger, if they are flares they will fall and burn out. But no. They kept changing formation! From a large triangle, back to side by side in a straight line, to a smaller triangle, back again to even brighter lights as a large triangle, then the lights all at the same time converged together into one light, changed from orange to white, then separated again into a triangle formation. I picked up my phone to call my daughter to tell her what I was seeing, as soon as I picked up my phone, one of the lights went out, then within a few moments appeared on opposite side of the sky. Slowly over the next few minutes, the lights went off one by one. I know it was not flares, they can not change formation or zip around the sky. Could it have been planes, well they remained stationary off in the distance, with no sound. I have seen many UFOs in my life, some very up close and personal, but had not seen anything like this since the late 90s.

There were four red lights. Two lights with a space and then two more lights. They were horizontal. Flashed on for two seconds, then off for two seconds. Back on and off. But when they came back on they were vertical. Stayed on again for two seconds and gone.

Woodinville, WA
The light seem to appear to be silently floating around near the creek about 30 feet or so up in the air and as I got closer I saw there were two lights that appeared orange in color and seemed to be very small. I started recording with my phone and as I got closer one became bright very much like a small, but intense LED as if it turned to face my direction. I couldn’t tell if it had a light in front and perhaps rotated or if it just changed and became bright. Both ended up doing this off and on and continued to float through and around the trees from East to West. As I went back toward my house to get my wife to witness I saw a couple more in the neighbor’s field on the other side of our property as well. They were completely silent and ranging from about 20 – 40 feet off the ground, all moving from East to West. Although I heard no noise, I later found watching the video that the microphone did pick up a strange clicking type of noise when it was at its closest. I was a bit freaked out and went inside and asked my wife to come out and verify I was seeing what I was seeing. My behavior was scaring her a bit but when I pointed them out, she saw them and was also surprises and a little scared. I went back outside and to the neighbor’s house to show him as well. Over about an hour a saw perhaps a dozen of these lights. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. Afterward I went back home and became very tired, falling asleep on the couch. Although I didn’t experience an loss of time nor did I touch or make any physical contact, my wife and kids told me the next day I was moving and twisting around on the couch hitting my head with my hands and that my head was sweating profusely. They said they tried to wake me but couldn’t. I felt like I slept very soundly and don’t recall any of that.

Kirkland, WA
At approx 6:30am, I was standing, facing a northerly direction in Kirkland, WA. At a very high altitude I saw a bright light moving at high speed from West to East. Air traffic in that area at that altitude moves from East to West. There were no blinking lights like an aircraft would have. I thought it slowed down and then went behind the tall trees in front of us. We saw it a few times moving through the high tops. We kept waiting for it to come out to the left in the open but it never reappeared. To me that rules out the space station and satellite.

4 Bright Orange Lights in the sky few miles out formation in a group moving and then fading out as if traveling away from me....Going to work and at 2:54am on new years day morning, i had just left the house and saw 4 bright orange lights what looked to be about 40 degrees 5 miles away in the very clear sky. I am 44yrs old, amateur astronomer for decades-own an 8" and 15" reflector telescope that i ground, polished, figured and built myself i share this info to give me some sort of credibility in my sky observation ability's. the bight orange lights were silent (jet sound/helicopter) lights were hovering toward another till one by one they diminished in size as if they were traveling away from me. flares/fireworks out of the question. this was truly my first experience with ufos. my first thoughts were flares but ruled that out fairly quickly after the motions were being controlled. well that's all i got. thank you.

Saw object over trees. Thought it was fireworks because of the holiday, but it headed south in a straight line, then made a V-pattern to the east. It went back to the original line it was traveling on, then stopped. After stopping for a few moments, it continued and stopped again, and did this one more time. It then made what seemed like a 90 degree turn, directly away from me, into the upper atmosphere and disappeared.

Shortly after midnight new years eve at about 00:10 I noticed an orange orb moving Out of the north north east at low altitude. It was traveling slowly with no typical aircraft navigation lights. Within very few seconds another appeared behind it in the same flight path and then another until there were five. Then it was as if they turned away one at a time and faded away. Within seconds 3 more appeared from the original location. They followed a simular path and then faded away as well. My wife and 15 year old daughter saw them as well. This continued for around fifteen to twenty minutes. Through binoculars they looked like just orange fire balls reflected off what looked like a white sheet. We have seen this before several years ago in Mount Vernon Washington. I believe it is a group of people with slow aircraft of some sort just giving a show but it is very strange.

Two lights flying next to each other slowly. The lights were like a soft yellow glow but much darker yellow than the normal plane lights we see. One of the lights zoomed off into a random direction and disappeared and the other one slowly faded away. Then a few moments later they same light appeared but only one instead of two. Then it disappeared.

I saw one floating orb while facing north. Thought nothing of it its new years thought it might be helicopter but no noise was heard and its 16° f outside. Walked to the other side of apartment and saw 3 floating orange red orb in cloud fog for at least 40 seconds before they dissipated into not being there even when sky clears. Also have seen many zig zag craft in this area over the last 3 years. Have not reported any activity before but would like to know if other locals saw. Boyfriend was present and a witness to this as well. Second orange orb sighting in spokane valley . first was October 10th 2015.
