((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I work for ((deleted--aviation company)). The object was not visible on radar, but it could be that our filters took care of that. The time is UTC and I do not have the contact information of the PA24. ((END ADDENDUM)) We have converted the time to Pacific Daylight time. PD

Bellingham, WA
I saw a transparent grey inverted V shaped ship. On the V it had 5 circular shapes in the bottom of the V. Possibly could have been lights but it was transparent. It made NO sound at all, was flying above the power lines very slowly. I tried to call my husband over, but it seemed so close I didn't want to draw attention. I looked away for a second, to get my husbands attention, and when I looked back into the sky, it was gone. I did see something, was close, transparent, quite and slow miving... Never seen anything like it before in my life. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Mountlake Terrace, WA
Very large circular flat disc with little greenish lights flashing hovering in one spot. Looked hazy around the object. No sound! It was very low and very big!!! I was driving, and we stopped to stare at it in the middle of the road. This thing was huge! We turned down the residential street to get closer and it was gone! We drove around and around and nothing! Craziest thing I’ve ever experienced! My friend and I could not believe it!

Bainbridge Island, WA
The object was traveling North and appeared to be a pale green to white sphere with no tail. Just the object. This is the third time I have observed this object, I saw it there weeks ago from the Bainbridge ferry terminal at about midnight for about ten seconds traveling North East and two weeks before that in Poulsbo, Washington, for about ten seconds at around 2:00 am traveling south. The object is a pale green to white, brightly glowing sphere moving at a fairly high rate of speed with no other lights or sound, and it doesn't show a tail like a meteor or space junk.

Marysville, WA
October 22 2017 at 22:55-ish · I witnessed something funky in the sky tonight. It appeared to be a triangular shaped craft with 3 large white lights. (These white lights were way larger than typical "position marker," lights.) The white lights were on all three "points of the triangle." One on the leading edge/nose of the craft and one on each other tip of the triangle. These lights were all flashing in unison at a rate of roughly once every 1 to 1.5 seconds. The clouds were relatively low that night and the craft was just above the cloud line, but only about half to 2/3's high as the traditional aircraft that flew over about 5 minutes later, between approx 23:00 and 23:10. (Give or take 10 minutes.) (I had no trouble seeing the red and green position marker lights on the wing tips of the regular airplane, even though it was significantly higher in altitude.) The sketchy part was that the triangular craft flew into these thicker clouds, and from my vantage point, disappeared as it went behind a large evergreen tree. After waiting for about 30 seconds, I was astounded that it did NOT come out the other side of the denser clouds, (or the tree.) I even walked to a different vantage point to change the angle I was viewing from, so that I could see beyond the tallest evergreen, and the craft didn't reappear. I continued to watch for at least another 10 minutes, but the only other thing I saw was a standard airplane. Since it was dark, I can't tell you what it was or even how many engines the standard plane had. The fact that the white lights that were flashing, were far larger (at least 10x bigger, and that's accounting for the difference in altitude too,) and flashing much more slowly than the airplane I saw with the red and green position lights. Kind of weird, huh? Kind of bummed that I didn't get a peek at the craft itself, just the lights in the sky. Oh yes, the of the 3 lines that made up the triangle, the two that met at the nose were equal in length, the trailing edge of the triangle, that line was a little bit longer, making the craft not quite an equilateral triangle, but rather an isosceles triangle. (Sorry, geometry is not my strong suit, nor are things like judging angles and altitude. I am hoping that the low cloud cover and the aircraft that flew over afterwards will give you more to go on.) I did locate an image that looks very similar to what I saw on google images and will send you the link if you would like.

Very high, slowing moving like a satalite, but slower, reversed direction and increased speed.

Saw two very bright orange round orbs flying from west to east in the northern sky. They traveled in an ark in tandem perpendicular to each other gaining altitude, then both vanished. The sky was clear and I could also see stars, but these were much larger. A third orange large orb appeared from the same direction after the first two vanished. It seemed a bit larger. It to moved in a high arc from west to east continued in altitude, it seemed to pulsate a bit while the first two did not. As it moved up in altitude it got smaller, but just as bright, then vanished. No noise, no aircraft was seen, no wind.

Wenatchee, WA
At 3:52 pm I was standing in the doorway of my garage, looking north. I noticed a cigar shaped, silver colored craft heading from east to west at a rapid rate of speed. It turned sharply and headed north. I was trying to rule out plane or bird as I witnessed the event. It was neither as it was moving so fast and turned on a dime, changing direction. I will be submitting an additional report immediately following this one involving another sighting 2 hours, later witnessed by myself and Husband.

Kent, WA
I'm not sure of the exact time it happened, but it was dark. I had just stepped outside to smoke a cigarette. I saw a bright light shooting down from the sky toward the ground. It disappeared behind the houses that were in my view. I expected to hear a crash, but there was no sound. It was fast and silent. Shooting star? Not sure. There were several commercial jets flying their usual flight paths higher and slower than this object, so they surely must have seen it. I am curious to see if there will be other reports during the same evening and what they saw.

Olympia, WA
I noticed a bright light in the sky, pretty close to directly overhead. It was on a course approximately 160 degrees. I normally can spot satellites around this time, I've seen lights that later I found out were the ISS or Chinese Space Station, but its direction was not correct for a satellite from what I've read. It' course was not a straight line either, making left and right alternating s-turns. I eventually lost sight of the object in the clads on the horizon. Lewis McChord airbase is to the east and I did not see navigation lights or strobes. I used to be a private pilot and worked at the airport for an airline as a gate agent for 15 years, so I know aircraft lights. It was a solid, non blinking white light. Being that it was heading away from me I doubt it could have been landing lights because those usually face frontward. I would guess that the direction took it toward the Olympia regional airport in Tumwater, but the movement was really odd, usually planes go in straight lines outside of airport airspace, and do not zig zag. The speed was hard to judge without being able to tell distance, but seemed to not be unusual

Moses Lake, WA
Light green meteor in Moses Lake Wa, 13:24 April 30, 2020. Direction facing was Northwest on Airway Drive NE, and Hillcrest Drive NE. Direction of object was North by North East. Suggested angle was 35 degrees downward. There was no curve downward, it was a linear angle. Object had a bright metallic, light green hue. The best I can describe the color is in RGB : 212r 255b, 216g. The only chemicals I could think of that would burn green are copper sulfate, or boron with methanol compound. Concerned it went the direction of Grant County International Airport, would suggest contacting tower (509) 762 -5363. Also concerned that if it had a bright green hue, that it may contain the isotope Boron.

I was laying in the tent with the rain fly off and saw a weird light dimly through the mesh netting and through the trees. Curious, I got up to see what it was and went for a late night walk from the campsite to the rivers mouth. That’s when I saw the sphere zooming silently and erratically across the lake.

10:28pm me and one other person were looking into the sky, I noticed a very large (larger than 3 planes combined) boomerang shaped object dark grey in color no lights, no sounds fly over (witness saw, as well) about 9 minuets prior a much smaller boomerang-shaped object flew over much faster with very very dim lights around the edges.

Puyallup (South Hill), WA
Spouse and I went into our hot tub around 21:00. It was a pretty clear night with wispy clouds and fairly dark since the moon hadn’t begun to rise. There were a lot of stars, so we were just chatting and enjoying the view. Around 21:15, I saw a dark disk-shaped object fly north about 80 degrees from where we were sitting. I shouted, “Look at that, look at that!” to my spouse, which he immediately did, and witnessed the same thing. There were no lights, but you could see the shape of it as it passed, causing a bow wave as it passed through some wispy clouds. I noticed a shadow on it that was in the shape of a “L”. It also made no sound. We’re used to planes going by with their flashing lights and noise, but this was eerily quiet. We couldn’t tell how high it was, but relatively speaking, it appeared to be large.

work partner and I was on Pacific corp property building roads for them. we start work in the early mornings at 5 am. about 6:30, partner said, hey I keep seeing lights on the mountain, meaning Mt. Saint Helens. It is a few miles across the way, and we would see these flashes of lights in different spot on the mountains south side. you had to keep from blinking your eyes or you would miss it, cause they were very fast and very bright lights, almost white lights. I got my phone out and took three pictures of it zoomed to the highest level it had on a s7 Samson phone, one out of three pictures caught the fast light. and zoom that picture you can see top to the light is a black orb. we think that the other pictures I took and missed the light have black orbs in it too. did notice that the lights flashed in different places on the mountain at different times. seems like you had to wait a few minutes for the next light to flash and sometimes they wou!d flash several times same spot.

Camano Island, WA
There was a craft flying towards the tree line of the cliff. I was overlooking the bay. The craft slows down and reverses direction. It slowly starts to lower down into the tree line. There was two bright white/yellow lights as if on its wingspan. Once the craft started to lower the lights change direction from horizontal to vertical and an additional smaller light appears on its right side before it disappears behind the trees. At this point I see another craft with red and blue lights flying in from the cliff on my right side, and then changes direction out to the bay in front of me. The lights on this craft are also flashing rappidly in white/yellow but no longer the blue/red at this point. I could see smaller lights flashing from either direction besides this craft. As if surrounding the craft. It looked as if the brighter/larger flashing lights were communicating with the smaller lights surrounding it. There was no noise except from the one that disapea! red behind the tree line. My dogs were running back and forth very upset with the hair raised. There was to many small lights to count. It was as if it was connected to the stars. Flashing all over the sky. The moon was not out. Video provided by witness indicates multiple white, strobing lights. PD

Seattle, WA
I observed an extremely bright light in the night sky above Seattle through my south-facing bedroom window. The light was blue-green in color, and moved eastward across the sky at a rate of speed I have never seen in an object before. At first, I thought it may have been a meteorite, but there was no trail behind the light and it was moving in what seemed to be a controlled manner. It also was moving faster than any "shooting star" I have ever seen. There was no sound associated with the object. Planes frequently fly over my location, but there were no other lights observed and, again, it was moving too fast to be a plane.

Seattle, WA
Saw strange light that lit up entire sky, Did not see a specific bright object, looked like lighting but it wasn't raining and Seattle doesn't get lightning. Flash had a bit of color in it, a little pinkish as it faded. Illuminated entire skyline. Flash happened twice in one minute, and then did not happen again.

Smokey Point Arlington, WA
Oct. 6, 2017 I was photographing a tree and saw a bright orb zip through the cosmos! It came past the moon and to earth, hovering above me. It then hid behind the light post as it split apart into flying ships. See through ships of different shapes. Oval, circles, lots of windows on the different levels. I thought it was a minute or two, but the date time stamps on photos prove that 12 minutes of time elapsed. They had no sound, and were very quick! They disappeared. I posted the photos on Facebook and tried to report this to you once before. There was a see through circle around each ship. Bluish green hue.

I was on my lunch break at a construction site on 300 N Pekin Rd in Woodland, WA, and decided to take some pictures of the clouds to the South of our site and after I looked at the picture there was an image in my picture that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
