Fairfield, WA
My husband and I were driving from Tekoa, Washington, to Spokane, Washington, around noon last Saturday. We were nearing the southern side of Fairfield, Washington. My husband pointed to the north and about half jokingly said, "Look. A UFO." I looked and replied, "Oh, that's a plane." As we got closer to Fairfield, we continued to watch the object, and the more we watched, the more we became convinced that what we were looking at was something out of the ordinary. I would call myself a UFO enthusiast, though this was my first sighting. My husband is a confirmed skeptic, but even HE couldn't say what the object was. It was cigar shaped and white or silver. It moved at a pretty good rate of speed from the North to the West. We lost sight of it for maybe 30 seconds as we entered Fairfield. When we saw it again, it was sitting stationary in the western sky. I found this odd. I said to my husband, "If it hadn't been going so fast, I would say it's a blimp." It was also way too high up to be a blimp. When we got further into Fairfield, we lost sight of it again, and as we exited the Fairfield city limits, we could no longer see it. It was simply gone. Anyone who has been through Fairfield, knows it is very small and doesn't take long to get through going north on the highway. It might take a minute so it didn't make sense to me that the object was just gone. It was a clear day and should have still been visible. I didn't take pictures or video because my husband's windshield was quite dirty and I was afraid the object would be hard to see. Thanks for your time.

At 11:45pm above Interbay/Magnolia in Seattle I witnessed a star above where there shouldn't be. It started out dim and them got brighter, meanwhile another one appeared next to it and began to get bright as well. They both became super bright and then the first one started to dim as well as the second one until gone. They did not move at all. No sound. Did anyone else see it?

I stepped outside on my back porch to check how much water was in my pool that I was filling, and I looked above and saw what at first I thought was the Milky Way, like a concentrated grouping of stars, until I realized the objects were moving slowly across the night sky. There were approximately 200-300 lights in a clustering. The closest comparison I could think of would be similar to a school of fish or tadpoles. The objects were paler than stars (like almost a blue, but not quite), and the light they gave off seemed less concentrated than the stars in the sky around. The group moved like a school of fish slowly towards the horizon, with a few straggling behind the group. The group did not move in a straight line like a meteor shower, but rather as if something floating along. I called my father out to see, and he came and witnessed the event with me, and then shortly after, my brother came out and saw the last stragglers move across the sky. It took appro! ximately 8 minutes for the group to move from immediately overhead to then be completely out of sight. I have never seen anything like it in my entire life, nor my father in his. To lend you some information on my background, I studied Writing and Law at University of Washington for my Undergraduate degree, and now I am a law student at Seattle University School of Law. I consider myself rational, pragmatic, and someone who rarely jumps to conclusions. I am both well educated and of above average intelligence, and generally, do not believe something without seeing it myself.

Longview, WA
It started a few days ago. I was watering my plants on the front porch, when I saw this bright object in the sky. At first I thought it was a meteor, and I told my father's girlfriend to come look. She saw it as well, my father merely glanced at it from the backyard and said it was a "plane or something." It was flying near Baker's Corner store in Longview, WA. I knew it wasn't a plane crashing down or a meteor because it had no smoke billowing from it. I recorded the part where it shaped into a ball from its fireball shape. It was a very bright silver metallic that reflected in the sunset. However, the recording is saved onto my snapchat so I am unable to post here... Yesterday, my friends and I went to Willow Grove Beach in Longview. We stopped at Baker's Corner like we normally do to get tea and such for the hot day ahead of us (we have had record heat already). When we got to the grove, however, this man came up to us in a van and told us that the park was closing in ten minutes. I wanted to tell him, "Oh, okay, thank you," but all that came out was, "Oh" and I turned around and walked to the beach. I don't know what came over me, but I was very afraid of him, as were my friends. We swam for a while with some friends, and once our friends were with us they stopped patrolling. During our time in the water we noticed that there was a party taking place further down the beach and the security had not stopped to inform them of the curfew. We stayed for maybe 30 min until another van came down the trail with its light flashing. They were headed for us, so we rushed out of the water to my friend's truck. They followed slowl! y down the trail. They were both wearing sunglasses and they were pale, I didn't look at them long. We left and went to eat at a restaurant in the sister town, but after dinner, I realized I had forgotten my purse. It wasn't in the restaurant, so we had to drive all the way back to willow. My chest hurt as we got closer to our destination, it was almost hard to breathe. My friends seemed nervous as well. It might have been because of the creepy security men before, but it felt much heavier than that. As we started down the 2 mile stretch of road to the beach, the truck began acting strange. The lights flickered and turned off then on and the brights turned on etc., and at first I thought it was my friend messing with the lights until she said, "Did you guys see that?" I looked up from my phone which was glitching out and focused on the lights on the road. They turned off for a moment, the radio was disrupted, and it was eerily quiet. Then the internal lights turned on brighter than I had seen them and the windshield wipers started ging at full speed, the gages twitched and flickered and then everything went dark. We could see under the moon and decided to turn around in a farmers driveway right before the boat launch. The lights came back and we took off. We all felt sick and sufficiently spooked, and as we turned left back towards the highway, a huge white owl swooped down behind the truck and into the tall grass on the other side of the road. We got back to our friends after midnight, which was strange because the grove isn't very far from where she lived. What do you all think? Is there a correlation between the strange curfew and the strange security van men? The owl? The ufo?

Out of the two videos I shot, you can see this satellite looking object zig zag through the sky turning a bright blue color over and over. I was not able to tell the shape of the object by sight or in my god awful video I took of it. I saw a bright white star looking object, looked like a satellite in the sky but much brighter. This object appears, moves horizontally at about the speed of a small aircraft, then went vertical at a rapid speed. This object then continued to move horizontally back and forth occasionally moving higher in the sky and seeming to turn a blue color as it changed it's direction instantly. I tried to drive in the direction I saw it after I lost sight of it, but I couldn't find an answer to what it was. I talked to a couple different police officers on duty near the airport, I called air traffic control and I am waiting for a call back. Today was my second sighting of this object flying through the early morning sky, same location and about the same time. The first time I saw this object was 06/19/17 in the North Eastern sky while observing Venus between 3am and 4am PST. I tried to wake my wife up that night to show her, and of course it was gone by the time she came out. I went out and bought a Nikon p900 to get some close up shots of the moon, Jupiter and Saturn this week. Early this morning I went around the same time as I did on the 19th in search of this object, and there it was. I ran inside grabbed my camera that I don't have a clue how to operate and shot this footage. I did a terrible job shooting the footage, but hopefully it's enough to show what I was looking at.

I was looking south from a friend's condominium deck in the Seattle community of Ballard. We could clearly see Mt. Rainier, approximately 75 miles to the south. A small, white cloud appeared close to the west flank of the mountain, approximately 2/3 of the way to the summit. Over a period of two minutes, the white cloud began to behave in an odd manner as it drifted, and then moved very rapidly to the west, straight away from Rainier, maintaining a constant elevation. As we were watching, the cloud abruptly stopped, and then dissolved before our eyes. Airplanes could be seen it the same general area, before, during and after the cloud was seen moving. They were also to the west of Rainier, and presumably taking off to the north from Sea-Tac airport. These airplanes were clearly darker than the object, and their direction and motion was entirely different.

At aproximately 02:30 am my son and i were out at night stargazing when we saw 2 circular illuminated glowing orbs moving across the sky. The two objects seem to light up brighter and then dim down. They were moving at a high rate of speed, possibly 2000 miles per hour!! Then they just blinked out/gone. Date above is approximate, and has been assigned arbitrarily. PD

Standing out side just looking up, a reddish glow kind of pulsating went by way to fast and no sound it disappeared from site then came back and stopped in mid air, for about good 30 seconds then went into clouds putting off that red glow. It moved way to fast for anything manmade and then suddenly stop, all took place in a minute

I am a 47 year old female. I live in a military based town. I was driving across town with my friend, following a Bingo session, approx 11:30 pm. I was not at all tired, drunk or medicated at the time I witnessed this mysterious object. My vision is good, I have no history of unusual mental behavior, and I am not yet senile. My neighbor was my passenger at the time. We both saw the same thing. It was a large object or a cluster of objects floating across the night sky. It traveled slowly towards us steady at a low level yet still a good distance above city power poles. Its shape shifted continuously looking unbalanced. My best description of what it looked like would be similar to a huge group of balloons tied together w/ each containing its own glowing light, glowing brightly of green/white. No blinking lights or sound. I continued to drive, losing site of it due to the trees. A few minutes later I drove back to the area stopping at a gas station to look for the! object. The object was not seen again. It was a "Strawberry Moon" that night. It was very large and bright. There were clouds passing/hiding view of the moon off and on, no rain w/ slightly gusty winds.

When my sister and I were playing volleyball outside, I saw a bright light. As a space fanatic, I thought it was a UFO. My sister disagreed and said it was a plane, and we continued to play. I looked back at it seconds later, and the light weren't flashing like planes do. My sister then started to believe me. I stared at it for a couple of seconds, and right before my eyes, it was slowly moving, and disappeared. I was in complete awe.

The white glowing orb glided less than the height distance of what an airplane would. I was caught by surprise due to the silence, I didn’t hear the sound of a plane, the object didn’t make a sound. As I watched the orb travel by, it appeared to make a slight zigzag motion on two occasions, it didn’t seem to elevate in height and was on a trajectory. I watched until the glowing orb disappeared out of sight continuing in the SE direction. We suspect a sighting of the ISS at 22:15 hrs.. PD

Nothing much to say,I was at the Seattle Centre fountain and took a photo of the fountain and when I reviewed the picture later I saw this object in the sky. There was nobody flying any kites and I don't recall anyone mentioning that they saw any thing. Photo of bird in flight w/ wings folded. PD

At approximately 10:30 PM on 5/28/17, I noticed an orange light over Lake Union. The light was steady and was moving slowly from north to south. It seemed somewhat low in the sky from my viewpoint. I could see the lights on TV towers on Queen Anne Hill that appeared to be at a higher level than this light. I watched the light for about 5 seconds, then went to another room to get my camera. When I returned, the light was gone. I did not see it again. I am in an area where planes on approach to SeaTac airport are visible much of the time.

At approximately 6:15pm, I walked from my great room area into our adjacent kitchen area. I had noted that there was a high level of electrical activity and energy in our home that day. Lots of static electricity and pulses felt by my children and I throughout the day and an odd sense that something was happening worldwide in reference to terrorism and a sense of potential earthquake. As I walked into the kitchen area I felt something watching me and I looked instinctively to my dining area windows located in the back of my home on the western side and I saw a gold sphere hovering in the middle window. It was completely round, gold in color and was larger then a basketball but smaller then a beach ball. It seemed to almost follow my movement from the greater room into the kitchen area and was as if peering through the window observing me. I wondered about drone capabilities and or other forms of surveillance equipment as I looked at the sphere which then seemed almost zipped up into a stealth mode right in front of me and was not visible any longer. I thought I should report this.

I was watching all the cotton flying around the sky and I noticed a glimmer. I saw the object in the distance, and assumed it was a plane or some thing identifiable. It faded away then started twikling again. It didn't move or float away and stayed there about an hour. It appeared to twinkle like a metallic reflection every 30 seconds. Kind of like a star in the day. I grabbed some binoculars, but it was very shaky and hard to focus. Seemed to be above the haze layer. I was in Renton aiming in the direction of seattle. I am attaching a photo I took. It looks just like the sky with nothing in it, but if you zoom in right in the middle of the pic, eventually you can see the black dot where it was.

On 5/25/17 at aprox. 0300 hrs. or “3:00AM,” I noticed a small steady white light moving from the NW heading approx. SW at a steady speed faster than any satellite would ever move,- as it sailed across the night sky. That led me to notice the same bright light in the NW Sky that seems to pivot at times and always noticeably brighter than any other light on any given clear night. I mentioned it to A fiend of mine I had just met. She pulled out her new phone & began recording video of the bright light I had been observing & taking pics & video of over the last 6-9mts. My camera didn't pick up on all the other light activity going on around the bright object.. Through here newer higher powered camera than mine, we were now looking at a stationary craft that had a distinct circular outline that can't be seen with the naked eye. It seemed to be a large craft with other lights moving either around it, and/ or to & from it. Some lights seemed to disappear then reappear randomly. The large distant craft had a steady blinking red light just like a passenger airliner except it was stationary in the sky. We observed 3-4 solid white lights just behind. As she turned her smartphone into panoramic view & zoomed in even further we could now make out several other odd shaped lights moving in & out or circling the craft high in the sky. There is no doubt in my mind after last night that this is highly sophisticated yet seemingly uncoordinated military exercises, or we are not alone. Last night was a pivot point in my life and have now seen it with my own eyes for over a half hour straight things in the sky I had only heard of or seen on TV… Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information.

Bright white circlular light. Appeared to be about the same height as an airplane, but looked much bigger and was traveling much faster. Light got progressively dimmer as it appeared to travel away until fully out of sight before it had the chance to disappear over the horizon.

May 22, 2017 Yesterday was a beautiful warm day. The sky was clear with patchy clouds here and there. As it began getting dark, I was disappointed because as usual, the sky was overcast, and not many stars could be seen. Maybe around 11pm, I was outside having a smoke and looking up to the sky. Night before last, within about 10 minutes, I seen what I think were satellites. Two separate tiny white lights, like specks, no flashing or any other colors just steady white light zoom across the sky. Tonight, all of the sudden I see one solid white speck of light but it's much lower than the two that I seen the night before. Travelling fast, steady white light. I grab the camera but my screen is broken so I can't see what I'm aiming at. Pointed it in the direction of the light which I can see with my eyes but it's already a bit away from me. I did manage to capture a few seconds of it on video but the quality is poor. I had some house chores to do and made a late dinner. Remembered that I needed to send an email with photos attached so went upstairs to do so. I'm borrowing a computer from a friend and not used to Windows 10 and had to figure out how to download the pics from my camera. And I got sidetracked... Next thing I know, it's almost 4am! I turn off the tv and look outside and quickly notice a super bright orange light in the flight path but it seems to be descending. It was very low, grabbed the camera and pointed in it's direction. Then a bright white light comes from same direction and looks to be slowing down. I took five separate videos because the lights were busy - doing something for probably 20 minutes. Two of those videos did not come out. You can hear me on them but no video was recorded until the last few seconds of one. I was surprised and almost couldn't believe what I was seeing. All together, I think there was at least four lights - low, and they would break into different lights flashing - at one point, the first two lights were making a cross of red, yellow and blue flashing very quickly but that doesn't show on the video. I'm a bit embarassed of the quality of my video - it's extremely poor - Canon Powershot, video taken outside my upstairs bedroom win! dow through the screen. Diidn't have another angle accessible for viewing. Got just a bit nervous towards the end of videoing because a couple of the lights seemed to flash close. Don't know how to describe but my friend and I have captured many videos in the past and sometime when capturing unusual lights - it might not be noticed by the person filming at the time, but upon reviewing, it will seem like the light(s) will suddenly come up on you quick. Oh, and my cat kept getting in the way. In one of the videos, there's a weird sound, otherwise, it was quiet outside. I'm estimating some people around the Sumner, Pacific, Edgewood areas HAD TO HAVE SEEN THESE. I have no idea how low they were but from where I was watching, the lights were below. I almost called the cops because I've heard of other people doing that - to see if anyone else had called but it was after 4 am and didn't want to sound like a crack pot.

Vancouver, WA
Diamond-like shaped object flying around 1500 ft. from North to South. Sun reflected off the object. Approximately fifty miles per hour. It stopped at one point and hovered and then moved on in the same direction going south. It looked to be black or dark gray and reflective.
