Cutthroat Lake Trail - Hwy 20, WA
My hiking partner and I found a strange orange ball of light in seven hiking photos (two different cameras) after we returned from a hike on Cutthroat Lake Trail in the North Cascades off Hwy. 20 on Saturday, 10/22/16. We did not witness this with our own eyes, but captured it with photographs. We were in a very remote area on a trail in 2 feet of snow at 5k feet elevation.

Everett, WA
Oct 19, 2016 7:35-7:38 AM Was driving east on 132nd towards Seattle Hill Rd on my way to Snohomish. Noticed a very bright diagonal line of light higher then cloud level. The line of light was moving down diagonally (west) towards the horizon at what seemed like a steady and fast rate. I took 4 photos of it from within my car, through my windshield. I called my husband at home to see if he could see it from his location too, but it was moving down so quickly that by the time our 3 min call ended it had moved below the tree line and out of sight. When the photos are zoomed into, there are grey objects near or in the light.

Yakima, WA
We were driving on freeway I-82 from Ellensburg towards Yakima. By Yakima military base (where there’s electricity towers) we seen a weird light then in matters of seconds we seen a second one. A third one showed up and one disappeared. The bigger light kept staying in the same place, that seem like it was pulling energy from the towers because we were able to see a line from the towers to that UFO like if it was like smoke. I took a picture with flash after that in matter of seconds all disappeared. There are 4 witness in total including a video.
October 18, 2016 · 11:16 PM · FORMATION
Wenatchee, WA
Tonight at 11:16PM. I was standing outside with my dogs when I noticed a V-shaped formation. The formation was made up of approx. 6 to 7 individual bird shaped objects. They were hazy red in color and would break formation slightly and come back together to form a perfect V. The lights had a slight flickering or pulsation to them. It was traveling at a high rate of speed. From when I first noticed it, to when it disappeared from sight. The sighting lasted approx. 10 seconds It was traveling from East to West. My Husband was just inside by the door when I yelled for him. He was able to glimpse the last 5 seconds of this event.

Ocean Shores, WA
((name deleted)) Date of encounter: October 11, 2016. Location: Ocean Shores Wa. Time: 1:35 PM We had just passed the Quinault Casino and state park on the main road to the Town of Ocean Shores when my wife noticed a object in the sky. The sky was clear with no clouds in the sky. The object was white and had a strange tail but the way this thing was positioned in the sky the tail was going almost straight up which should have had the object going down but it seemed to be going south from us, and not losing any altitude, just moving away from us and getting smaller and smaller until it just disappeared. I am a Air Force vet and my job was airborne radar and this was no airplane or balloon. You could clearly see that the object was round with this funny tail. The outline of the object was very clear with no lights or identifying marks on it. The sighting lasted about 1 ½ minutes until is was gone. It did not disappeared over the horizon it just got smaller until it was gone remaining high in the sky. Thank You

University Place, WA
I was stopped Eastbound at the stop light at Cirques/56th St West. I was the second car in the right hand lane coming from Cirque/56th St W. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a silver ball flying from the NE direction to my left across the street above the AM/PM and continuing SE on above the Nursing Home and the apartments on the opposite corner that I was stopped at. At first, I thought it was a huge silver balloon but it flew in a straight path against a breeze we had blowing at the time. The flags at the Texaco station were flying/blowing to the North and the object was moving at a steady pace in a South East direction. It is also noted that this cool, crisp clear morning at approximately 10:10 am. The object was silver in color and changed from a circle to an oval shape. It was a solid object and you could see the outline of the object, but at the same time you could see the object change shape. There were lights that were grayish/white that blinked around the center half of the craft. When I held my finger up to the sky while sitting at the stop light my index finger did not cover the whole object. While I was watched it flying the lights appeared to be blinking at random with no discerning pattern. When my light changed I made a right from Cirque/56th St W. onto South Orchard St. I followed the object for about 2 miles and I lost sight of it due to traffic. I have included a picture from Google Earth showing the intersection I was at.

Graham, WA
While walking our dog between 7-8pm - not sure exact time - we saw a bright white light in the sky. It was at similar elevation as the aircraft that frequently fly over from seatac but further to the east. It appeared three dimensional- like an orb. It was silent and very bright. It was not flying in a straight line - rather it was more erratic. It was heading away from us, but we were able to see the light. No strobes. NOT an airplane. We stopped and watched it for several minutes, then it faded within 10-15 seconds and was gone. The bright whiteness of the light caught our eye.

Ferndale, WA
Let the dog out to the yard to go to the bathroom. Was about to bring him inside when I see a light in the sky hovering south of me. There were multiple lights but it was far enough away it looked like a point of light, couldn't quite make out a shape. One white light was constantly on, the other (2 or more) lights were blinking colors. I used a star light to base the movements. It would hover for a few seconds then jerk in any direction and then hover again. Reminded me of the seemingly random movements of an insect. I took a 5 min video on my phone and stayed at least another 5 min holding my dog watching the event. The object stayed in the same area of the sky (between two close trees) from my vantage, and moving away from me southbound slightly. I am familiar with the movements of known aircraft including personal drones. At first, I thought It was a drone, but the movements were inconsistent with a drone because there was no acceleration or deceleration, ! just movement and seemingly perfect hovering. There is an airport in the area. The clouds moved in during the sighting and the unknown light was below the cloud layer. There was twice a smaller/distant light that blinked once near the object similar to a satellite. I went inside because I got cold and the light was still doing it's thing in the sky, never saw it leave the area.

Kennewick, WA
sky lit up in a flash to the south tonight, didn't last but a second, and this after seeing bright white light appeared as a very bright star or planet in daylight sky last month, with neighbors witnessing it also, called police, spoke to office who located in the sky while on the phone with me. He said he'd try to find out what it was. Duration of event was over an hour, the object turned orange and disappeared at sunset. Then last night, bright white orb moving north to south over head in night sky, duration lasted about 30 seconds when the light went upward and vanished.

As the two witnesses observed, jets were scrambled to intercept these lights. As the jets approached, the two lights shot straight up and out if sight. We have requested that the eyewitnesses be invited to submit reports, and we have expressed a desire to look at the video. PD

A very bright light in the sky which I first assumed to be a star. Stayed stationary for a long time, then moved rapidly to the west and disappeared.

Cowiche, WA
At 1:15 am my husband and I were sitting on our porch and saw a fire ball appear from the south very low lower than most air planes it had a small red sparkly tail behind it looked just like a bottle rocket tail In much bigger form flew straight across the sky from south to north at a very slow speed and disappeared! It didn't light up the sky or make a sound!

I was outside looking at the stars when I saw an extremely bright (like LED light bright) white orb fly across the sky a few hundred feet up with a eastward and downward trajectory. It was completely silent and it was extremely fast. Much faster then an airplane or satellite. I actually braced myself for an impact, which never came. Did anyone else see this!

Lacey, WA
Flying at what seemed to be about the same altitude as a military helicopter might fly, we saw a craft that had 2 rows of parallel lights. Each row had perhaps 4 or 5 lights. The top row was at first a bright pink. Then changed to turquoise, then red. The bottom row remained white. The brightness and size of the lights were all we saw. There was no body of a vehicle visible. Though the lights were a bit odd, the speed of the vehicle and it's ability to change or reverse directions without slowing down, and it's silence were truly unusual. Sitting in our back yard facing west, the object flew at about a 45% angle from the horizon, flying north to south, back and forth, turning sharp angles and reversing directions without slowing down. This took place just south of the Thompson Place/Tanglewilde area of Lacey WA. After flying north to south, back and forth for about 4 minutes + or – it disappeared behind the treeline to the north and was gone.

September 21, 2016 · 8:05 PM · FLASH
North Bend, WA
Upon arriving at my destination, I got out of my car and waited patently in the dark for what seemed to be at least 5, maybe 10 minutes. Sure enough, a MASSIVE white flash could be seen over a local mountain named MT. Si. 3-5 minutes it happened again (The time frame was almost impossible to track!!!). 5 minutes felt like 1 minute, 1 felt like 10. About this time strange clouds cover developed around the mountain, shrouding it . This flash was extremely powerful. It lit the whole sky and the cloud cover, but only for 1-2 seconds. It did lit look atypical white, it was almost a glowing color. Much to powerful to be emergency strobe or anything civilian/commercial. It seemed almost unbelievable. (This happened in mid July, but seemed to come from the eastern cascade ranges). After the second and final flash, an object came over the mountain, seemingly from the source, and quickly ascended westward, with a rapid white strobe. It did not disappear, only continued to pick up speed.Soon after the flashes seemed to stop, and the clouds dissipated. I found this impossible not report.The first thought that comes to mind is government, seeing as people have reported quite a few low flying military aircraft over the years..although this was rather unique and "out of this world". I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS..gave me the creeps.. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) That would be 8:05pm ((END ADDENDUM)) We have corrected the time. The report was first posted on September 22, 2016, indicating a time of 08:05, or 8:05 a.m.. PD
