About a year ago or there about, I started seeing these lights in the sky, all of red, green and blue color and I seen as many as 9 at a time as far as down to 2 at a time, and not all in the same part of the sky. I've seen many, many satellites and that is not what they were, there is not that many in the sky at the same time and everyone knows what stars look like, and it's not stars. I've watched them for over a year now, they are not airplanes, when they move they are to slow for planes, and they don't always move. Well a few nights ago about the beginning of the week, I used a green laser light and shined toward them, and just after I did, I seen one appear in the middle of the sky out of nowhere, I kind of laughed it off, but did think it was odd, so the next night I tried it again, twice and after each flash I saw more, so Thursday night I did it again, and I only saw one, well when I came back in the house I was walking from the kitchen to the living room, and all of a sudden I heard this really loud, loud whirling sound and I thought what the hell is that and I ran back out to the deck and not to far above the tree tops, I seen one of the objects shoot through the sky, I still wasn't able to see the shape of it, but right behind it was a helicopter, and I know for a fact whatever it was the copter was chasing it. So finally last night I had my wife go out with me, and I shined the laser at one again, and one came through the sky, and I did it again and 3 more, one behind the other came through the sky, and we waited just for a minute and without me even doing the laser again 2 more came, we both agreed too slow for planes, no helicopter sounds, and some were making a up and down rollercoaster motion. All I can do is call them UFO's because we know they are not planes, not helicopters. Thank You

At approximately 2241, on the night of June the 14th, 2023, my significant-other and I stepped out to our front porch to smoke and within the span of just one or two minutes, heard and witnessed the speedy passage of a massive craft. We thought at first, due to the sheer apparent distance between guide-lights, that it was two helicopters flying with something suspended betwixt them. However I believe the lights we saw were too coordinated in their movements to indicate anything but a single craft. Visibility was however, low due to the streetlamp opposite the house. I could just vaguely make out the outline of the craft. As it appeared to me it seemed very like a submarine or zeppelin. I'd wager it was prop driven, given the sound. It approached from the South, approximately heading Northward, with a spotlight beaming down from the fore. Given the search-light I was hesitant to try to take a photograph, let alone the poor visibility and my potato-phone.

We saw what we first thought was a jet with a glowing contrail. Contrail got brighter so not a contrail. Then i thought space debris. But everything maintained form. Had twin rows of bright lights with duller fuzzy light in between. As it passed overhead it had a fuzzy form to it. Do not have a clue on speed and size since do know altitude. But carrier size and jet speed would be smallest and slowest

1st I noticed a strange sound. Almost light a hum that seemed to come from the ground. I live near an airstrip so I am familiar with plane and chopper sounds. This was neither. You can also tell when its coming from above. I did not see the craft until it was above me. It was just above the trees and it had 2 large white lights, somewhat close together on the underside. One blinking and 1 steady. They were the only ones. I tried to see the shape but even though it was a clear night, it was hard to tell. When the light blinked it looked fuzzy, like the reflection from a cloud. Kinda pearly color. From the flashing I would estimate 25-30 ft across but couldn't see the edges to be sure. The other thing that was so odd was that it was moving slow... too slow for a plane. My dog looked at it as well. I watched it as it kept moving towards the olympic mountains, trying to come up with a logical explanation . I was never afraid but can't sleep and get it out of my mind. My parents and I saw 3 ufos about 55 yrs ago as well. Investigator can contact me if they want but not necessary.

My spouse and I saw a linear pattern of lights moving slowly over Bellingham, WA for about 30 seconds. It was a large structure and the lights appeared to be almost like large bay windows with light shining out. Honestly, it reminded me of a fleet ship from Star Wars as odd as that sounds.

Silverdale, WA
I came around the bend on the highway to a short straight way, immediately notice a very bright point of light above the horizon. Immediately my brains thinks planet but am urgently proven wrong when i noticed it flashing. I am very aware of different phenomena that can occur, like illusions with our atmosphere, natural events, satellites, debris, aircraft. I am usually very good at interpreting what i observe and have gone 26 years without seeing something truly inexplainable. This object was bright when pulsing and well bright enough to be a planet. The uniformity of the pulsing light had perfect intervals of light and dim. (it never truly went full dark) There was aircraft in the field of view that were easily discernable travelling much more east to west or vice versa. I thought maybe i was lucky enough to observe an astrological event close enough to earth that the effects would be visible to the naked eye. Then i noticed it was moving. It seemed to be moving perfectly in alignment with true north. If this object was in our atmosphere, as i watched it travel further away before disappearing into the horizon, then the rate of speed would be totally feasible by current technologies of man, but in that same token, the light source couldnt have been very large if it was in our atmosphere when i saw it. This means the light source would have gotten visibly smaller as it travelled further away from me if it was indeed in our atmosphere. Instead the size of the light and its brightness when pulsing stayed completely consistent as it travelled further away, which could indicate it being much much further away. I began taking verbal notes on my phone as i kept driving and pulling over, over and over again, trying to document the event. Furthermore id like to add, this was a silver light, that of stars and planets. There was no trail. Imagine you pushed a light maybe 20 percent larger than that of jupiter observed from earths surface, and pushed it lower in the sky down closer to the horizon. and imagine not only was it pulsing full bright to very dim in even intervals, but it was also moving in a straight line to what seemed to be true north. The direction of true north seems like a contradiction to me believing the object to not have been in our atmosphere. I dont know if this is truly a discrepancy or can be explained. I am hesitant about even making this report given the current news and media surrounding David Grusch. The odds that i see a UFO or astrological event occur during this specific time makes it absolutely unbelievable and fills me with even more embarrassment and anxiety to talk to piers about this. It would have been embarrassing and hard to talk about regardless, then you mix in the current news media. Its a fucking nightmare, Im a mess, and i cant explain what I just saw. Im a man of science and this doesn’t make any sense in my current understanding of any scientific model.

The movement and duration of a shooting star seen just above the horizon on a full moon night as we drove from Issaquah to Duvall, WA It descended rapidly, angled from right to left and then vanished (like a falling star). It was much larger than a star and had a rainbow of colors (to my recollection, red, yellow, green, orange). The driver, Nancy, and I, were gobsmacked. It took our breath away.

Moses Lake, WA
Sitting on my patio my friend saw the brilliant emerald green in the upper NE sky, asking "what is that? I turned to look up and saw what I described above. I'm familiar with meteorites, etc since I used to live on the Big Island of Hawaii, but I could only surmise it was not a UFO, since it was arcing down to the North, towards the earth, then was blocked by trees. It was a clear night, no helicopters or planes flying around from Moses Lake regional airport. No explosion, sounds, just beauty. It was about the size of a pea. Investigator feedback: Witness saw the most brilliant emerald green pea size object described as an orb. It’s altitude was at one thousand feet before touching the ground. Object made no sound during its flight or its contract with the ground. Research found Starlink satellite at same quadrants entering and exiting the Moses Lake area. Research also found Tau Herculids meteor shower on same date of witness sighting. Witnesses Dad was employed at White Sands. She has heard about uaps her whole life. Witness saw an unknown other, orb.

Blaine, WA
I am up near the US / Canadian border and was on my deck looking east when I saw a blue light that looked like it was shimmering go from south to North in a straight line then disappeared. It certainly crossed the US Canadian border. It was slower than a shooting star, saw it for probably under 3 seconds, but way faster than any plane etc.. about 5 minutes later I saw what looked to be high powered flashlights in the sky hitting the clouds going all over the place, assumed someone else nearby saw it and was shining a super powerful flashlight up in the sky.

I was in the passenger seat with the window down, and I was taking a photo of the moon. I saw a bright light flash by as I took the photo. As seen in the photo, there is no lamp post where the light shines onto the bridge. 2 photos- one without the light (different location on the bridge) and one of the light I saw pass by as I took photo.

Mount Vernon, WA
Latitude - Longitude 48.41050, - 122.30815 UFO/UAP 06/01/23 10:30 pm I was looking north, it was heading east, from over the ocean I have been watching a low traveling, morphing, bright light through my high powered binoculars. It was heading north east from me and low in the sky. It first appeared oval, but then it became perfectly round. Its bright orange gold light, changed from lighter to darker. It also had black dots or holes that moved across it changing directions and sizes, like boiling liquid. I first saw it in the shape of a circle. It was pulsating and shining very bright then darker colored gold and orange. Then it would change position and just looked like a flat golden pancake. It maneuvered again and I only saw a dark sliver of it. But, on the outsides of the dark sliver, it was still bright gold. It appeared at first to be flying up right, and now it was flying on its side. Then back to flying upright. Pulsating with those black holes moving continuously. Very active and appeared to be always pulsating and changing its shape. It kept dropping lower and was heading west. Towards Mount Baker.

3 sightings. All same location. 2 looked like flashes of light like a meteor, 2nd was a large hovering craft with red lights on the corners that did not flash. It hovered and then vanished. Too big to be a helicopter. Planes do not hover. The 2nd sighting of what seemed to be a meteor but exact same spot, I was not alone and my friend saw it too.

The object was moving against the wind - no noise, High cirrus clouds were moving with the wind and it was going against the wind. Was viewed twice - once at 4PM and again at about 445 when I was on the way back on a Kayak. No noise, no contrail nothing. Also it moved slow, then quick, then appeared not to move, then would move away again.

I was outside and I saw what I thought was a plane as I always see planes in the air, but this was not a typical plane like I usually see. It was an orange round light slowly moving across the sky, no sound and no blinking. I watched for about 40 seconds and it looked like it slowed then stopped and then vanished. I waited for about three to four minutes looking into the sky, but I did not see it anymore. Who knows how long it was in the sky before I noticed it. And where did it go? Most importantly, what was it? This is not the first time I've seen unusual objects. Me and my partner both witnessed something strange. A handful of years ago in a place where we use to reside at, I was awakened to a strange sound in my kitchen, so I quickly glanced out from our bedroom and I noticed a red orange what looked like a fireball in the center of our kitchen, and it just vanished. While also there, we noticed strange lights moving in the night sky, I think I still may have a video of it somewhere. My partner also has seen a silver cigar shaped object in the sky kind of behind a cloud during the day as we were driving. I also have dreams of seeing UFO's, there are always lots of them with lots of lights, flying everywhere and it's always during the day. The dreams never change. And I always experience loss of time. Even while I am awake. Connected? Visitations? I'm not sure but it's kind of bizarre.

Object was jet black, cashew shaped, orientation, longer up to down. Top sw side was shining white light, likely due to sun placement but odd because the sun was already towards the west side of the object. 3:10 pm . Headed east, slightly south. I'd say from Seattle, roughly 110 degrees on a compass. Object between size of a car and a normal bus. I was driving half way on the floating bridge i90, headed west towards Seattle from mercer island about 3:10pm. About 50-70 feet from the Mt baker tunnel, it disappeared. Just gone. I was interested and turned around by the stadiums, I took the exit, and saw in my rear view it was back and absolutely in the same area. But when I was able to turn around it was gone once again.

Approx 2:00pm my roommate got me to come outside. Looking up there were 5 black star shaped craft with 3 "arms". They were right at the cloud ceiling layer. They were very difficult to make out unless you stared with concentration. They were floating/lumbering along the cloud layer slowly. At times they appeared to disappear. We took a video and photos, but the resolution was too low to discern them in the photo/video. They were hard enough to see with the naked eye, let alone a phone camera.

As my husband and I were disembarking a cruise ship, we saw an oval white object with no propulsion and no wings fly by the space needle. It appeared to be flying at the level of the top of the space needle with no sound until it went out of view.

Lynnwood, WA
Stargazing at 10:30 pm local time, facing north, my attention was drawn to a faint light I saw traveling high in NE sky (about 70 [seventy] degrees). The light appeared initially like a common satellite in terms of brightness and size as it approached from the east. Then, it slowed and seemed to descend, tracing out a path in the shape of the number 5. In other words, it slowed, continued to travel east-to-west, then dipped straight down, and then traced an arc (again, imagine the shape of a number 5). As it traced the arc, it increased in brightness until about midway through the arc's completion, it was as bright as an approaching airliner's landing lights, whereupon it began to decrease in luminosity. When the arc was completed, the light was back at its original luminosity. At this point, it accelerated in a straight path directly to the north and was gone in about five seconds.

Castle Rock, WA
The object was spotted moving quickly across the sky above my head at what appeared to be fairly low altitude. The object was blurry or foggy looking (possibly pulsating). It was in the shape of a cross. It happened quickly and I was the only witness. No pictures were taken. There was no noted sound. I'd been specifically listening to the frogs in my pond and the owls in the woods behind my house. The sighting did not startle my horses either. The object was moving fast enough that it was over in just a few seconds.

I got my cellphone and videoed for two minutes at 8x magnification. But it was out there for several hours. A friend on FB said she saw it, too. Was not traveling in a straight line like the space station. It was jumping back and forth, up and down. It was a bright orb with something in the center. It was not a spotlight. One small plane flew past, but I don't know if they saw it. Your site says my video is too big to upload. I posted it on FB. It won't upload my photo.Just wondering what it might be.

Oak Harbor, WA
Shortly after sunset noticed a bright white light in the sky that was stationary. Live near NAS Whidbey, and their jets were having heightened activity much of the afternoon. Being able to follow their lights at night and not just the sound, I was able to see the jets doing a perimeter around the light as it hung in the sky. Over the course of 4 hours, it moved very little from where I originally saw it. A call to the base was answered saying they "could not provide me with any information." About a month ago, my fiancee was at the beach about a mile from our home around midnight and she said she saw several of them. The light was over the Pacific Ocean, WNW of the north gate of NAS Whidbey. There were strange noises throughout the night similar to a cello mixed with the echoes of a crotch rocket, that is the best I can describe it. Increased, abnormal military activity today as well.

Newport, WA
I saw a big fireball of white light followed by a trail of spontaneous white fiery lights that were smaller than the big ball. I was in my car and it was at car level with me but probably a thousand yards away and it was headed downward, towards the ground fast. It wasn't in the sky. It was similar to a shooting star but it was not up in the atmosphere, it was right in front of me. I drove around the corner to see where it had gone and there was nothing there, it was like it was never there. There was nothing on fire, there was nothing blown up, it was just like there hadn't been anything there. I can't explain it. And there was no sound.

I arrived just before 5:00 am to fish in the morning at the Merwin fish hatchery boat ramp in Woodland, WA. Looking towards the west above the tree line I saw a bright light and after a few seconds I noticed it moving at a steady pace heading towards me in the west. I started recording the object on my phone about 10 seconds from the time I noticed it. It continued to fly west above my head until it disappeared behind the horizon directly on the other side of the dam at Merwin reservoir. While watching the object the bright light stayed illuminated at the same brightness ever after passing overhead as if the entire outside of the object was illuminated. The object appeared to be close enough and bright enough that I would be able to see the red and green navigation lights found on planes. It also seemed close enough that I would be able to hear the sound of an engine. The area was completely silent and I was the only one there for the first 75% of the encounter. My friend John arrived as it was in the west where I ended the video and showed him the object. Both of us were unable to explain the encounter.
