On the date of October 3rd, 201,7 at 19:10 (dusk) while working in my back yard I had just dumped some brush down our back hill and was planning to end, due to the vanishing light. As I was returning into the yard, because of the slope, my face was pointing at an upward angle and I saw an object that looked like a small black mound (upon reflection it seemed like a small black cloud) about 12 feet long. At first, I thought a bunch of balloons because of its silence. Then I thought a drone because of it’s speed. But I realized that it was too dense to be a drone(unless a drone can fly with a blanket over it) and it was too consistent in shape for balloons tied together. This was at (according to a later compass reading) NNW 290 degrees, 20 feet above the trees across the street, and about 250 feet away. It proceeded in a horizontal line. After staring at it for 10 seconds I ran into the house to get the binoculars as for some reason even though that close it didn’t seem distinct. As I came back out of the house (I later timed it) 62 seconds later and ran into the street it took a few moments to locate. It was now I estimate over Lowman Beach, about 2-3 blocks away. It was much smaller due to distance away and I could not bring it into focus. There was little to no wind yet this thing may have been moving 15-20mph. No one else was at home and I didn’t call neighbors as I just wanted to get binoculars and get a good look myself first.

I was outside with my mom and baby, looking at the night sky. Looking up I saw a crescent shaped UFO. It was a similar color to a dark cloud in the night sky. It was dark grey and it looked like a boomerang. It was moving relatively fast, but I tracked it for about 5 seconds. It moved Northwest to Southeast. It moved from behind one tree directly overhead across to be behind another. I guess it would have been under under 5,000 feet, but it was hard to tell. It was silent as it moved. It was really freaky. It looked like solid smoke. It had no lights and was perfectly shaped. It should also be noted that I live near one of Boeing's manufacturing plants. It could have been military, but it was definitely something I've never seen before.

I was on the roof of my apt. building with my Manager to view ISS coming from SSW to NNE at 7:47 pm this evening. We went up early and around 7:37 pm we noticed a bright red disc moving and stopping and standing still. It then pulsed white colors and changed to green and white. It stood still for a while and went North. Stopped again and dove down beyond our view. It came back up and headed south and then north again. It dove down and came back up. We lost sight of it going north. It did change colors quite often. I do know what a plane transponder looks like since I am in the flight path of SeaTac. This was no plane or helicopter with those moves.

Around 8:30 pm pacific standard time a bright flashing light was spotted about the house. The object hovered for several minutes before changing colors. The colors go faint as the object moves.. Minutes later several fast low flying airplanes appeared for at least 15 minutes. At least three Unidentifiable aircrafts where spotted in the sky.

Standing in my driveway looked at the bright 1/2 moon in the southern sky at dusk. Saw a yellowish circle just underneath the Moon. It has hovering and seemed to be a long distance away. I looked at my 79 year old father in law and asked, "How's your eyes"? He said "fine". I said "look at the Moon". He said "what the?" We looked at each other. When we looked back it was gone. I was pretty excited. Him not so much. Clearly something was up there.

As I was getting off the freeway this blue light was everywhere around me. I looked for the source and saw this just about 30 feet over a hotel... it was a perfect circle the sizeof a V.W bug. On the top and bottom it was blue on the inside was a bright white light rotating clockwise it was illuminating the blue.On top of the blue was a gold shell like a sea shell I saw it for 7 seconds then it beamed away.

Puyallup, WA
I was driving down Canyon at coming up to the intersection of 176th to take a left towards Puyallup and looked over at Mount Rainier and saw this big silver diamond-/ oval-shaped object, just hovering by the mountain. It had to have been really big, but I blinked my eyes think iu by this can be real, but opened my eyes it was still there then after about a min or so it just disappeared. I've seen the spacecraft with flashinglight hovering at night, but never during the day. Hoping others saw it too!

Seattle, WA
Driving down Mercer, heading West, saw a crescent shaped light near the Space Needle (not the moon) looked like it could be a halogen light for construction except the light was too far up to be related to the space needle construction. Saw the UFO for about 30 seconds then lost sight because of buildings - when I had a clear view of the Space Needle, again, it was gone. The witness indicates a morning sighting, but we wonder whether it might have been a nighttime sighting. The witness remains totally anonymous, and provides no contact information, so we have no means of verifying the time. PD

Lake Stevens, WA
On Saturday night, Sept 16, 2017, I had stepped out onto my deck to look at the clear night, and was facing North West through the trees. I saw a bright orange star that was different, and I watched it to see if it was an airplane or possibly a satellite. As I watched it, I noticed a smaller ball of light drop out of the "orb" or what ever it was. It was like a ball of fire dropped straight out of the "mother craft" and went to the ground. I half expected an explosion, but heard and saw nothing. Then it dropped another ball of fire, which also seemed to drop straight down for a while. It seems it may have veered to the left before dropping out of sight. Several seconds elapsed when it began to drop fire balls on a more rapid succession. The larger orb/star/satellite/ began to move slowly towards the south into a more westerly direction and began to be obscured by trees. I actually checked the news for reports of explosions or other witnesses, but haven't found any yet. The idea that it was an airplane fighting fires is debunked, as there are no fires burning to the west, and it wasn't an airplane, as it stayed stationary for quite a while. It wasn't fireworks, though it kind of reminded me of some upside down fireworks. It was way too high to have been fireworks, and again, no sound was heard. I researched some other photos and it looks exactly like what some describe as an orange Orb, however, I haven't seen anyone else report it dropping smaller balls of fire from its center. These smaller balls all went straight down towards the ground, but it seems some veered off as they got closer to the ground. I didn't have a full horizon as there is a small hill in the direction I saw the object.

Chehalis, WA
Driving north on Interstate 5, between mile markers 80 and 81, just north of Chehalis, WA. Time was approx. 12:50 pm, Sept. 12th, 2017. I may be off on the exact time, it happened two weeks ago and I haven't posted this until now. My attention was drawn to a large round white object moving across my field of view from right to left; it looked like it had a white trail behind it as it was moving very fast and also at a relatively low altitude. I don't know how to estimate the altitude exactly but I'd say it was maybe 3 to 4 thousand feet high. At first, I thought it was a reflection on my windshield, but as I followed it with my eyes, I saw it out my rolled down driver-side window. Definitely something in the sky moving fast and low in a generally West direction. Maybe slightly north of west. The entire event lasted 2 to 3 seconds but was pretty impressive. Didn't hear any sounds or notice any electronic effects. Not the first time I've seen a UFO on this general flight path in this area.

I was in my backyard getting my dogs in and looked up to the west and noticed a steady blinking red and white very high in the sky, I just kept watching it. Then I noticed more than one helicopter fly past me heading in that direction. Whatever it is, it's blinking, which caught my eye, looks like it has a tail of some sort. Totally weird. I thought it may be the ISS but that's over Great Britain right now. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Everett, WA
Middle of the day. Walked outside, looked up and there it was. It was floating through the air, a dark S-shaped object, maybe teen feet or so in size - maybe a half mile or less in the sky. These are guesses to size and distance. It tumbled through the sky, and also, the ends of the S would contract at times, then go back to an S shape - and also I did notice that it would also rotate horizontally, and when it did - it seemed as if it was 2-dimensional on that plane, otherwise tubular. At one time during the horizontal, I noticed a kind of yellow semi-transparent square projection shape go over it, in a flash of time. It strangely enough seemed to go directly over my field of view. I thought about it later, that I was feeling the wind from the opposite direction. As I had plenty of time, time of encounter 30+ seconds, I could not see or identify what it is, even observing it intently, and it did not appear to be a balloon of any kind. There are no balloons sold in any local stores that match this. I then went on the internet to look for "s-shaped ufo's" and I found some others that have had similar sightings: http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/135/S135145.html https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/s-shaped-ufo.494236/ Something about this seemed...organic, intelligent, and intentional - rather than simply a piece of trash or balloon floating in the wind. I say this with all skeptical discernment, as it seemed to be tumbling, as it were-as a means of movement or self-propelling, such as the flagella of a cell moves, rather than simply being an object moved by a current. Unfortunately with these kinds of things, it just doesn't sound that impressive - I understand, as it probably would not to me if I read this report of a UFO without experiencing it directly my self. I am relaying this to see if anyone else has ever seen something like this, or has any ideas ... this is all true my story which I share. I do not have any cameras or phone to take a picture, sorry - but the video of the other sighting looks very similar, even exactly - except for the addition of the other details which I had observed.

Looking E,SE into the Seattle sky from Magnolia where I reside, I noticed a large red ball which resembled a planet. I took a photo of it because it seemed odd and out of place as I had never seen this before. This was red in color like Mars, but is was not where Mars would have been in the night sky on September 6th, and it did not move. After I took the photo, around 3.5 – 4 minutes later, I returned and it was gone. Source of report fails to indicate the date of the event, and provides no contact information. PD

We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be serious-minded. He has both military, and aviation, background. However, his photo strongly suggests to us that the object was a large, helium-filled balloon, in the shape of an oblate spheroid, with other objects suspended below it on some type of cord or cable. However, the witness reports that the cluster suddenly accelerated, and climbed out of site very quickly, which one would not expect for a balloon. PD

Me and my brother were smoking weed at around 10:30pm to 12:30am. We were talking but he heard a "Graaaauuuuuchhh: sound repeatedly. We both heard it over and over again. Then it went quiet and we went inside. Strangely enough when we went out again my brother said he heard the same sound on the other side of the street and that it seemed close. If some guy was just making noises its possible but he would need to be in a weird mood to do so.

My brother, boyfriend and I heard a loud, growing and indescribable electronic sound out of an upstairs window of our house facing vanlirop field and East Pioneer. We could not locate or see a source (it was pretty dark). We ran outside to our backyard towards the sound and by then it was heard off to the left further up pioneer toward Orting, fading into the distance. It seemed too loud to be coming from a car, we could hear normal car sounds and this wasn't relative to any of them.

About 10:45 PM, noticed three circles, red colored, hovering in a perfect line. The three red circles were north of Medical Lake and north of Fairchild AFB. They began to fade out and then they got closer then disappeared. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

My wife and I go out on our West-facing deck. She notices a light moving in the dark nighttime sky and points it out to me. It was changing colors, red, green and headlight yellowish. The movement of the light was about three fingers at arm's length, in all directions. Very hard to guess distance, but i would say >5 miles. We watched for about an hour and went in the house. Will watch again on the following night for a possible repeat performance.

Sunnyside, WA
Driving on my night route as a medical courier, I took my exit to go into Sunnyside, WA, (exit 69). I noticed a weird white line in the sky. At first I thought it was a cloud break, but the more I kept looking at it I came to realize that it just didn't fit, it was a cloud break. The sun was red (due to all of the smoke from recent fires) and was on the horizon. When I got to my stop, I watched it, and realized it was moving slowly. I then took a picture and video. Youtube link: https://youtu.be/uvi8jPMNKCg The white line was indeed moving very slowly, and eventually faded away. Later on in the night around 10pm around Prosser, WA, I did see some flashing orbs, but can not confirm those because I was driving and could have been a reflection of my van's windows. But it was in the same Northwestern sky. Thank You. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
