Issaquah, WA
Last night there was a very bright light in the sky over Issaquah WA, it was a very clear sky. I got out binoculars and checked it out. It had a red light at the bottom of the object that blinked. So, I thought it was an airplane. It didn’t move. I watched it for a long time, over 10 minutes. It didn’t move, so watching it with my binoculars it sent out red lights along the edge of the craft like a car with tail lights moving in one direction. So, I thought it might be a satellite. When it sent out the red lights in a row like I said, I got creeped out and went to bed, thinking it must be a satellite. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Than all the sudden it seemed to be backing away and is only a dot in the sky. WE have seen this 3 other times in the last month. What is it? Sighting of Sirius? PD

At first glance it appeared as a plane on fire. But when object hovered and made no descent, but Instead ascended. Myself and witness could make no sure deduction as to what we were seeing other than UFO.

When the weather stopped the horrific loud airplane noises started at dark. It's 1 am and they are still at it about every 5 min. It's very disturbing and we are Not in the normal sea tac flight path. They seem to be flying low because they sound very loud and are slow flying as they pass over low. There seem to be many aircraft and they seem to want the secrecy of dark cloud cover! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Colville, WA
At around 8:30 pm, I went out and turned off the yard light. I noticed a light that blinked different colors. Red blue white. It kind of jumped around in the sky. I went in the house getting my roommate who came outside with me. She grabbed the binoculars. Looking through the binoculars we could see the colors better. Sirius? PD

Around midnight on Dec 31, 2015, witnessed two cigar shaped objects bright red on each end white in middle. Hovered for 20 seconds then flew at very high speed towards north east and blinked out.

Kennewick, WA
At approximately 12:26 am pacific time, I stepped outside my home to check that my garage door had been closed before I went to bed. I turned to step back inside and I noticed three bright orange lights in a triangle formation to the West. I thought it was peculiar they were not moving very fast at all and seemed to be hovering (we have many aircraft flying over head to and from the commercial airport, but these lights were different). Then after only a few seconds of observing them, it appeared that they began to rotate on one axis, then on another but remaining in triangular form and distance from each other. As they began to rotate in unison, two other large orange lights emerged in my view, following closely behind and in the path of the first three lights. I could now see five lights. I then ran inside, got my wife out of bed, and she then confirmed she could see what I was seeing. She witnessed the three lights in triangular formation, and the two lights following closely behind. I ran back inside, and woke up my visiting parents so they could also observe. The four of us watched as the three lights in triangular formation separated from formation and slowly rose in altitude in to the clouds illuminated by their light. As they rose we began to lose sight of them, two additional lights came in to view, and began to follow the first set of two lights. All lights were moving in the same general path, rising in altitude above the clouds and out of view. Yes it was early New Years day - No, we were not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Richland, WA
Right after going outside in my back year to watch fireworks with my wife, we both noticed what appeared to be a military style formation of initially 6 separate craft. All craft were in an almost straight line and evenly spaced, except for the first craft, which was about 3 times further ahead then the rest of the craft were spaced. More craft appeared when the lead craft went out of sight. There was no noise present and the craft appeared to be at about 30,000 feet and flying north east from the south west. From my vantage point, they were straight up from a hill, directly to the south of my home. Every craft flew the exact same pattern and were extremely slow. The last craft took 8 minutes to traverse the same path the previous traveled in less time. All craft disappeared at the exact same location. There was a low cloud bank but was only partially covering the skies. The path the craft were flying through was not clouded and had very good visibility.

Covington, WA
On New Year’s Eve, my fiancé and I were out in our back yard watching the fireworks right at midnight. We had been outside for about 15 min, at this time it is 12:15. We both notice this very odd stationary orange spherical light above the trees and out always but low in the sky. At first I thought it was some firework going off but it held stationary for about 10 seconds before what happened next I cannot explain. The object broke apart into six different spherical shapes; they remained stationary for a few seconds before one at a time they started to fly to the north. After about 15 seconds they were all flying to the north. I managed to get some of this on video. After about 45 seconds all the objects were out of our vision. At this point my fiancé goes inside. I remain outside for approximately 5 minutes watching the area where the objects came from, when one single orange spherical object appears from behind the trees following the same path the others had went just before. There also was a small low flying plane in the sky right next to where this object was flying. Whoever was in that plane had to get a good view of whatever that object was. But it also gave me perspective and without a doubt these things were NOT planes. No blinking lights and moved in a way that planes of today cannot move.

Bellingham, WA
Observed from Canada by an airport control tower. 10-15 yellow orange lights slowly moving across the sky in trail and very loose formation. Came into sight low over horizon distant south east of Bellingham and disappeared approximately over Whidbey Island at what seemed to be a high altitude. Did not climb or descend, but just tracked across the southern sky from east to west until they disappeared, one or two at a time.

Olympia, WA
Sky was clear. Looking at stars. Noticed a bright sparkling object in western sky. Moved very slow in what appeared to be a northern direction. With binoculars you could see there was more than one light. Green, white and red or maybe orange. Thought maybe it was a helicopter hoovering (sic. Hovering), but the lights didn't seem right. There was a blinking pattern. Disappeared or flew into the fog bank.

Cle Elum, WA
2 objects glowing orange traveling north/northeast went in and grabbed my dad and son so they could see as well, when they came out we all witnessed 5-7 more objects traveling the same path and speed, the last two objects were traveling a little quicker and changed their flight path just slightly but still traveling same direction. They seemed to be about a mile and a half away (relatively on the Stuart range/dingbat basin area) no sound whatsoever came from objects.

Ocean Shores, WA
Our family rents a house every year which is located near the southern end of Ocean Shores, Washington. My son and I were outside down by the channel, enjoying the night sky. He was laying down on a bench, looking up at the stars and I was looking out towards the east over the canal. He noticed a red, blurry light, which was moving quickly from the west to the east. Since he wears contacts he thought it was just something to do with his contacts, so he said nothing. A few seconds later I saw a large, red, fuzzy ball, moving at extreme speed, coming from the north, headed southbound. It made a extremely sharp right hand turn and flew south of our position, but parallel to us headed west out to sea. We both looked at each other in disbelief for a few moments couldn't say anything. I can tell you that the amount of see that it took in the turn would've certainly cause the human out from the g forces.

Bellingham, WA
I went back in with my family and started talking about what I had seen, and my Mom said she had seen them about two hours earlier when she was coming over to my home. She lives on a hill about 1.5 miles away, and had clearly seen them, unobstructed, as she drove down the hill on the way to our home. She described the exact same three stationary orange glowing objects in the exact same place and in the same triangular position in the western sky. I initially thought the objects may have been lanterns, but there is no way they were if she had seen the exact same objects two hours prior to me seeing them. I also wondered if they were planets, but they were the same size, same color and glowing, not twinkling.

University Place, WA
I was sitting on my south facing rear patio just after sunset, when I noticed what appeared to be a satellite moving SLOWLY across the sky in a southeasterly direction. I initially observed it through the bare branches of my neighbor's large oak tree which was followed by the observation of two more similar objects travelling on parallel courses in a narrow angle of view. After several seconds, I excitedly summoned my wife to come outside to witness what I was experiencing but the objects had already disappeared. The objects looked like stars but moved like satellites. The fact that there were three of them and they all slowly moved in unison was very unnerving. I had never seen anything like it in my lifetime.

Bellingham, WA
Last night December, 25th, 2015. I was outside waiting for a cab, and I noticed some strange lights in the sky. I'm not into the UFO investigating, but there were three of them lined up, by the time I got my phone out two of them just shot away. No way it's a plane because one went backward. I'm an experienced Paranormal Investigator (Ghost Hunting), but I never investigated UFO's, I have two pictures which I would be happy to send you.

Brush Prairie, WA
Was driving alone to Brush Prairie, WA, on Christmas Eve. There were 8 red lights stationary in the night sky in a very weird diagonal formation. One by one they disappeared. It was very cloudy and a full moon, the moon and the stars were both not visible that night.

Renton, WA
Approximately 19:17 hours, over Renton, Washington, there were 6 objects flying from the west to east, in pairs of 2. No sound was heard, no flashing lights, just white/red beams. They appeared to be sub-sonic. As approaching closer they were also climbing in altitude until each set of 2 disappeared into the clouds. Some video was taken via a tablet, though clarity isn’t the best. Shape of objects was not clearly seen, looking like round objects in the sky. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

My fiance' and myself were just leaving from a friends' place. We were traveling south at about 10 MPH, as there are speed bumps throughout the complex. She pointed southeast up into the sky, saying "look at those lights"! It took me a few seconds to focus my eyes and see what she was referring to. There were three red lights in a triangular shape, behind a bunch of very large cedar trees. It appeared to be extremely large, traveling West. It was disappearing behind the trees, we tried to speed up to get to a clearing to have a better view but by the time we got past all those trees, it was gone. We live right near the beach and islands, so I believe while we were looking west but more southwest, it may have been traveling more northwest... It was unbelievably surreal!!!
