Looking out West from my patio, I was watching a plane fly by, as this is a very popular route for planes coming from the west. I managed to catch a glimpse of what looked like a satellite, moving across the sky from west to east, being illuminated by the son behind it, flickering on and off. Very bright. Moving just as fast as a satellite mind you. About a minute went by and the craft seemed to stop high above me and just slowly dim out over the course of 10 minutes in one spot. Slightly moving south at this point. I've lost sight of the object as it seems to have just disappeared. Didn't see it move for quite a while.

Seattle, WA
It was just after walking with my girlfriend to the bus stop. She needed to go further into the city for the day, so after that I walked to the nearby store to get something to snack on, and after that I wanted to walk my dog on nearby city trial. I had just started the trial, I had a feeling to look up and notice what to me appear to be a ball of light getting closer. I thought maybe it's just a plane flying by, and I was wrong, this was a pulsating Orb, it was changing colors from violet, to green and white. So I was to capture 50 seconds of film from my iPhone 6. Notice from the film, the Orb would disappear in some parts of the clip and negative photos show that the UFO is solid. When the object disappeared and reappear in frame. I notice I was the only person on the trail. It felt strange to witness something alone, and not to have another opinion or experience.

Looking at Meteor shower Friday night, noticed high altitude disc heading North towards British Columbia. Object suddenly flipped direction 90 degrees East towards Idaho, zig-zagged back 90 degrees toward original North heading. Then, abruptly shot out of sight towards British Columbia, like no meteor I've ever seen!

Auburn, WA
My friend and I witnessed a large (at least 2-3 times the size of the sun, in a sky) orange and red bright glowing circle in the sky. We were driving North in Auburn towards Kent, WA, and when we came to a stop light, my male friend in his (60’s) and I (age 27) witnessed the object in the sky, I looked up and seen the same bright orange and red moving across the sky at a steady pace. The object headed east and dipped down out of our sight behind mountains/forest area (this took less than 45 seconds).

Lincoln, WA
My Mom lives in Lincoln, WA, sometimes shown as Creston, Wa, on the web. We are about half a mile from a boat launch on Lake Roosevelt. My mom and I were watching tv at 23:55 or 11:55pm, when my step dad walks inside the house from the porch. He says to my mom, “Come listen to this noise, I have never heard anything like it.” So my mom goes outside with him on the porch. I do not follow him at first because he was so calm. Then my mom opens the door and frantically calls out to me, “Come out here as fast as you can!” I run out to the porch and instantly see this long string of lights in the sky, and there is this loud, ominous, deep vibrating sound that I can feel vibrating though my feet on the deck. The only way I would be able to describe this sound would be if there was a giant wine glass with a mile wide rim, and a wet finger continuously rubbing along the rim to make this deep low hum. The string of lights are white and flashing or pulsating in what appeared to be a sequence running around the perimeter of a disk. We could not see the definite outline of the craft because it was dark and also very smoky from recent fires. But we could tell by the pattern that the lights were moving that it was most likely a disk or ring shape. The craft looked like it was about a mile long, and maybe 1,000 feet above lake Roosevelt. We first saw the craft to the east, moving very very slowly. Its path appeared to be following the curves of lake Roosevelt, headed north, then north west. We could still hear the hum or vibration from the craft about three or four minutes after it was out of view. I was in such shock that I could not stop crying my eyes out. My mom tried to calm me down by reminding me that the day before this event, or maybe two days before, the local news station gave a statement from the local air force base, Fairchild Air Force Base, saying that people should expect to see strange aircraft maybe even foreign crafts. But the broadcast was almost in a joking manner. This changed my mood from scared and sad to scared and mad. If this was indeed secret military aircraft, how dare they mock our fear when we discover their dark secret of bizarre advanced technology. We spoke via telephone with the young woman who submitted this report, and she sounded to us to be quite eloquent, and quite sincere. Please see other similar reports from Oakesdale, WA. PD

Oakesdale, WA
On 08/02/2017, at approximately 1143 pm, I went outside my house to turn my sprinkler off for the night. After I had done so I could hear a very loud hum. I looked to the sky facing southwest and I could see 20 to 25 white lights going in a clockwise motion across the sky. The lights were attached to something very large and were blinking in the clockwise sequence around an object. The area that these lights covered took up most of the horizon. The area around the lights was totally blacked out, you could see no stars or the moon at all. While I watched the object and lights, it did not appear to be moving. If it was moving it appeared to be doing so very slowly. The loud humming sound was definitely coming from the direction of the lights. It was a very odd sound, not like an airplane. The sound was more like a pulsing hum, but very loud. In fact, you could feel the vibration from the sound. After watching the object for a couple of minutes, I ran and got my Dad out of bed so he could see this as well. My dad brought his cell phone with him so we could try to film this. I have uploaded that video to youtube. My dad also was able to witness the object as well. We watched this thing for another minute or two as it began to travel to the Northwest away from us. We were able to see the lights still going in a clockwise sequence around the object until it faded out of our view. The youtube video, which is too dark for me to see anything, is more of an audio clip, if the volume is up you can hear the hum though. Here is the web address for the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcC0PR1Af8M

On the night of 8/02/2017, I went to bed at about 11:00 pm. At about 11:30 pm, my son came knocking at the door saying you need to come out and see this thing. When I walked out side and went behind our shop I saw a ring of lights that appeared to go around this extremely large dark object, The lights flashed one at a time and went around the object clockwise. What really was amazing was the size, it seemed to take up a third of the western sky. The other thing that we noticed was the noise it was producing, It sounded like a steady thrum and was vibrating things around us. It slowly moved of to the west and faded from sight. The sky was fairly dark due to smoke from fire and the light was subdued from the smoke. Stars were visible were the object wasn't but we were awed by the area it occupied. My son grabbed my cell phone and tried to record it and mainly got the sound. The lights on the object were white. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite credible and sincere, as did his son. Please see the similar report regarding a similar sighting a few minutes later near Lincoln, WA, on the Columbia River. PD

I just saw something odd in the sky. Full disclosure: Current beer count: 1.5. A light came from the West. One solid, bright white/yellow light. At first I thought it was a satellite but it was kind of too bright to be a satellite. Moved faster than a plane, but higher than a plane and lower than a satellite. It headed East. But as it progressed East, instead of going lower in the horizon as if it actually headed East, appeared to gain altitude; then abruptly disappeared far sooner than it should have. Zero blinking navigation lights just one light. (( Probably the ISS. See link below: http://heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=25544⪫=47.6101&lng=-122.2015&loc=Bellevue&alt=24&tz=PST PD))

Everett, WA
I live east of I-5 in South Everett, WA. I went out to have a cigarette and saw two objects, circular and saucer shaped. The closest was near 77th St and Broadway slightly higher than small plane at take off in the air. It was slowly moving eastbound like when a car has slowed to check you out. The second craft was Northbound and near the Snohomish River Valley, going slowly like the nearer craft. The nearer craft was close enough to be seen clearly. The sides reflected ambient light. On the bottom was a single light. It made no sound and moved smoothly. I noticed it was not like an airplane because an airplane came by with the typical red and blue light and flashing white light, and it made the typical engine sounds of a small plane. Both craft were bigger than a Cessna.

Was in my back yard last night around 10:45 and saw a far-off object and just kept my eye on it because I thought it might be a satellite and wanted to watch it go by. It was going really fast, faster than the satellites and faster than the airplanes that come by my home. It also was much lower than a satellite or plane. Looked for blinking lights on an airplane and there were none. As it came within clear view, my mouth dropped open – it was a glowing greenish yellow and I immediately thought about the glowsticks that kids use at Halloween. The shape was really odd, not seemingly aerodynamic at all - it was rounded and I feel like it had two rounded parts hooked together – not discs though. It was completely silent and very big and much lower in the sky than even the small airplanes. I took two steps out further into my yard when it got the closest to me so I wouldn’t lose sight of it as it went by… and it disappeared. Either the lights went completely dark or it actually disappeared. Never have seen anything like this before – I just stood there with my mouth open.

Saw a brute green meteorite fly by, then I pulled out my camera phone for more, when we saw a red circle chasing it it stopped and hovered for a few then slowly disappeared, but I got it on video

Saw a bright blue cone with orange streak access the sky. Thought it was a fireworks rocket at first. But then I sat up and noticed it was streaking across the sky almost horizontal. There was no noise, but it was traveling at high rate of speed. Trail was not visible except for bright blue cone with red.

Driving north, we noticed a green circular shape that appeared above the trees, on the east side of I-5 driving north. Seemed to be 300-400 feet in the air, was a green light, and sped off to the north in an instant. We only saw it for about 4 seconds, or so. It seemed as big as an airplane.

Olalla, WA
I was sitting on the deck at approximately 9:30 p.m., when I saw a bright green light moving in what appeared to be a south to north trajectory. The light appeared to be a bluish-green ball with a trailing tail, like a falling star. At first glance it was like a firework, however, it was much larger, brighter, and moved much further than any firework I have ever witnessed. (( We have amended the time to 21:58 hrs., predicated on a very accurate measurement of time by one of the witnesses.

Yelm (near), WA
At about 9:58 pm on 7-29-17 a bright white and green light with a long trail similar to a meteor EXCEPT there was ZERO change in size, shape, color, tail, trajectory, or altitude, from horizon to horizon, and we did NOT see is diminish at all. We were near Yelm, a town on a prairie plateau in the South Puget Sound area, with a big sky view. The color was silver white, with a long bright white needle like tail much longer than I have ever seen with a meteor. It had inside the small super bright oval shape a small faint green color to the core with a very short green tinting into the beginning of the tail. The green was only by the object itself, it did not bleed into the tail more than about 5% of the overall length with its full tail. This is more conducive of a missile, than a meteor, in that its magnitude never changed. The light was identical to the light of small missiles, such as patriot missiles, but much faster, and much longer. As for the flare of missiles right at the front of the propulsion fire we couldn't see well, it was too far off, but it appeared to have a faint flare to it, not quite doubling it thickness at that point only, it didn't trail at all, almost like just a blur around the start of the burn area. This did not look at all like a meteor after initially seeing it, and it appeared to be about 40,000 to 70,000 alt., and if so, would put the speed about mach 10. I flew flight test in Lear's, and I know what I saw. It did not appear to change altitude in the least. Furthermore, EVERY meteor I have seen acted identically the same. This was only fast and bright, no other similarities to meteors. It DID NOT flare up and fade off as meteors do. It DID NOT have the orange and particulates that flare off meteors in about the middle of their entry to our atmosphere. There were no sparks or glittering. I did not have a compass with me last night, but looking at the map I put the direction of travel near 350 degrees. Source of report is a very experienced pilot. During a telephone conversation with the witness, he reported that the object was approximately 12-15 degrees to the east of overhead, and that it traversed approximately 140-150 degrees, from south to north, in approximately 7-8 seconds. Further, he estimated that the object's apparent size was just a bit less than Venus, in the eastern morning sky. He added that he did not believe that the object was a meteor. PD

Bellevue, WA
A large glowing ball of flame, green and red, hurtled through the sky in a linear, due north direction. Faded into the distance as a dim red star. No sound. the size initially was from my location approximately the size of a pencil eraser. Billowing fire as it traversed the sky. Very likely a meteor. The green color was quite spectacular. Barium possibly?

RESUBMIT WITH MORE DETAIL. Saw the Oval lighted craft pull up 11:20PM lights lasted around one minute average. While it drove their were constant lights going on like headlights. But the light it emitted during that minute was the brightest I had ever seen. Never seen anything that can stay stationary until last night. After the lights it headed towards W Washington. It did this light thing at the top of the hill over some trees. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Saw it pull up with bright lights, floating semi close to the ground, but I was in the valley below looking upwards at the top of the tree covered hill. It was barely above the trees. It made a stationary stop and started to emit a very very bright light that illuminated for around a minute. It had no flashing red lights like planes usually do, so intrigued I began to take a look. It pulls up with large white lights above the trees and stops, it then starts the lights. I was scared because it was moving quite slow in comparison to that of a normal plane. These lights lasted roughly one minute average. I even recorded it on my phone in person I was staring at the blinding light. In my recording, I was able to capture the image and even notice what seemed to be a second spacecraft blinking in a non-rhythmic pattern.

Bellingham, WA
We were sitting on the deck just after midnight. Very clear skies, observing stars. Spotted what appeared to be a satellite, very high up, moving from south to northeast. Observed for several seconds. Object suddenly lit up very brightly, a yellow white light, lasted for several seconds then went back to the pale light it was when first sighted and took a sharp turn west and disappeared. Neither of us have ever seen anything like it. No we weren't drunk or stoned. If I didn't think it was quite remarkable, I wouldn't have bothered to find this website and write this report.

It was a very clear night. I was on the 11th street bridge, watching the night sky, I began walking down Dock Street towards the Museum of Glass, when I saw a bright White/Blue light. The object looked to be like two triangles of light connected and waved side to side hundreds of feet at a time. It was "swimming through the sky" It was distorted all around it almost like gravity was being distorted and pulled around it. I thought it was plane as this is a common route for planes heading to Sea Tac. It was completely quite the object headed north to almost the horizon line and stopped. It then descended straight down. I captured just a blip on my phone but the fact that it even showed up on my iPhone was impressive. I have no idea what this was, it was way too low to be a satellite and was not a plane. It looked man made, but was hard to see with the distortion and light. It was definitely solid and seemed to be like an arrow head made of two triangles. It was traveling extremely fast and I estimated at about 10,000 feet. I would love to hear if anyone else saw this! There were helicopters in the area I am not sure if they were chasing it or not due to the high traffic.
