Shelton, WA
I live 8 miles north of Shelton, Washington. Tonight, 12/13/2015, at 11:00 P.M., while standing on the front porch of our home. I witnessed a very bright light in the sky. It was going at a very high rate of speed, from the southeast to the northwest. It almost appeared to be like a headlight. There was absolutely no sound. It seemed to me to be traveling at about 500 to 700 feet above the ground. All I saw was the light. It must have been going at least 500 m.p.h. As far as it was above the ground it appeared to be half again the size of an automobile headlight. It seems silly to me, to report this, but I have never seen anything like this before. At first I thought maybe a star or meteorite, but it was absolutely horizontal. Just the one lone light. No other lights like would be on a winged aircraft. I said to myself “what the hell was that?” Maybe I’m losing it. I am a 68 year old married woman. My husband and I are both retired. I have completed some college. I’m just an average person going by the rules living my life. No history of mental illness or police record. Just standing on my porch having a cigarette. Which by the way I do every night. Again I have never seen anything like this before.

Deer Park, WA
Watched 2 orange fireballs approaching Deer Park from south westerly direction not moving in a straight line, seemed to hover at times. Showed my sister, then a minute later watched at least 7 more of these orange globes approaching from same direction spaced apart, some hovered in same spot in sky for awhile then seemed to move off in different directions and fade.

Very beautiful craft, pulsing brilliant iridescent light. Viewed through a telescope craft appears to be many, many different colors constantly pulsing, flashing, and dancing. When craft is veiled in clouds, obvious illumination of cloud material itself occurs, confirming for me that it is indeed its own source of light. First encounter the craft was very well behaved, stayed in the same relative airspace, elevation and distance away with occasional upper atmosphere visits accompanied by physics defying aerial maneuvers. Second encounter was about the same. The encounter being reported as of tonight was the first time craft had been observed flying out of sight on a linear trajectory, then promptly returing to sight within 20 seconds. Observed at least 5 FAA approved aircraft within UFO's airspace, which I denote is why the craft uncharicteristiy fled. First two encounters had no confirmed human craft observed, UFO stayed in consistent sight, flashing and dancing for hours to all night.

Initial witness saw a full 5 seconds of blue and red fireball....second witness saw a second and a half of yellow/white. It appeared to both witnesses as a gigantic shooting star. Much larger than a normal shooting star. Researched on-line and found no other reports . Traveling from east to west, easily 100 times the size of a shooting star. Colors not concurrent to a normal meteorite entry. Cloud cover was an interference but there was a sufficient gap to see the event. The fact that we were even looking in that direction as we were going out to the car and witnessed the event was a million to 1.

Seattle, WA
I was standing on the corner of 85th St. NW and 24 Ave. NW, in Seattle, WA, absentmindedly looking north. I turned my head and caught an extremely bright white circular light with a long orange tail traveling westward across the sky. I only noticed it after it has halfway across the exposed view of the sky and it quickly traveled out of view. No sound was heard. About 30 seconds later a helicopter or aircraft followed on a similar path. I've never submitted a UFO report before and would certainly believe if it was a human made object. I have observed shooting stars before and this was significantly larger and brighter than anything I've ever seen. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Friday, December 4, 2015, at about 6:50 PM, I am pulling canvas off of a large Star I am making for Christmas. I walked back toward the house to get open the garage door to continue removing the tarp when I see a brilliant light move from East to West in the distance. It appears to be about 20 degrees above the horizon and covers about 30 degrees of the sky moving almost perfectly horizontally with just a slight curve for gravity. It was only visible for two seconds and it appeared to vanish into a cloud. It was such a bright green color, I thought it was a roman candle until I noticed how far away it was. It had a dimmer orange tail. It made no noise. I estimated it to be the size of a BB if held at arms length, but have no idea how big it really was. Years ago, I saw a boloid or large meteorite camping at Spirit Lake when I was a boy (before the mountain blew). It was green as well but not as brilliant green as this. This also moved faster and seemed closer than something in space or in orbit.

Sea-Tac (to the south of??), WA
I saw four or five "projectiles" launch minutes apart, straight up in the sky, change trajectory, and shoot north until they were gone. From where I am in Sea-Tac, it look liked they were being launched from somewhere in Pierce County. They left "trails" that took a great amount of time to disapate, where as the aircraft flying overhead had trails that disappeared quickly or within a few minutes. Whatever I saw launched did not look like aircraft. They looked like missles. What's going on?? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Bellingham, WA
Was driving along Interstate 5, northbound, when noticed 3 red/orange glowing balls to the west of me. They were in a triangular formation, with two of the balls close together and the third a longer distance away. It appeared to be stationary. They were too big to be stars, and they weren't moving, so I concluded they were not planes. I watched this object for maybe two minutes while trying to drive, then lost view of it behind trees and houses. After I lost track of it, I noticed there were no large red/orange stars visible anywhere, nor did any of the planes in the sky have solid non-blinking lights. Plus, the plane lights were smaller. I don't know what it could have been. But it was in a triangle formation and just sitting there. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

A plane flew by shortly after and if they lights were connected (wing to wing or just side to side) it would have been three times the size of the plane. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Eastsound, WA
I woke from sleep to go to the bathroom. Upon returning to my bed, I looked out my windows and saw a strange sight in the sky. I was staying on the north shore of Orcas Island, and across the strait is Sucia Island. The objects appeared to be over Sucia island. It should also be noted that there was a wind storm happening with regular gusts of 60 mph+ and all of the lights in the house were off, we live outside of town, so there isn't much in the way of artificial light to begin with. I saw two red lights not far from the ground, maybe 10 stories up, like a radio tower, so I dismissed them, but above those lights at about 3 or 4 times the distance above, were between 5-7 large objects. They were diamond or star shaped, think the traditional 4 pointed star, bright and firey golden yellow, its hard to explain because they seemed to be twinkling and almost dripping fire or sparks or something along those lines. They moved lazily among each other, none of them ever moving too far from one another making it hard to determine just how many singular craft there were. Nothing too spectacular happened, other than them being there in the first place. After about 20 minutes they disappeared. The next evening, looking out at the island, I was trying to spot the radio towers, but they were not there, so the red lights were another aspect of the event itself.

Then, after that, I stayed up for about 45 minutes, looking into the sky. Then I eventually fell asleep, not seeing the object again. The object looked like it had 5 separate lights almost like an atom particle. The light it produced was white, like any standard light bulb color you can find in the store.

On 11/21/15 at 10:40 PM, my fiancé and I see 30+ flashing bright lights in the sky. If we didn't look closely, we probably wouldn't have noticed and assumed they were stars! I saw red and white! It was only on one side of the sky! We also heard a pressure of air!! Pretty close together...is it drones? Or what is it?! We have corrected the date above. Source provides no contact information. Possible hoax?? PD

Seattle, WA
Over a span of about five minutes, saw approximately 12 reddish lights in three loose formations traveling due west across downtown Seattle. The formations were variations on chevron/arrow shaped, regularly spaced and formation was held without wavering. The lights were reddish orange in colour and did not pulse or flicker. There were no other lights that would indicate that these were aircraft navigation lights. No discernible shape of the light or craft. No sound was heard over the background noise of the city. Unable to properly judge height, but based on the angle at which they passed behind a tall building, my angle to the building and assuming their speed was similar to that of a jet aircraft, I estimate that they were over 8,000 feet. for some reason, witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.

Granite Falls, WA
Approx. 5 minutes after our power went out at 7:00 PM, I was sitting on our back deck looking due east, 45 degrees to the horizon, night was clear when I noticed up behind a popular tree in the back yard one, then six other lights. Each lighting up one by one from left to right in the shape of a "v" with a bluish-green hue. The lights all went solid, "blinked", went solid again then disappeared entirely. In comparison to the stars in the sky, the lights were approximately three times that size. The power came back on about ten minutes after the sighting.

My husband and friend where walking our dog, when they saw a large orange reddish circle or ball in the western night sky. It was not a plane or an helicopter because there were no flashing lights and the way it moved. It moved side way with a quick burst of speed then it would stop and hover for seconds then move side way back the way it came from. There also was no sound. My husband also called me outside which I did to see the ball as well. We saw the ball repeat moving side to side and stop and hover for a bit then it flickered and disappeared. It was very high in the night sky and for being so high it was quite large. Never saw anything like it before.

I was outside walking my dog, and I looked up at the sky to watch the stars. I noticed a very bright light that was about two and a half times the size of the surrounding stars. At first it was moving forward at a pretty decent speed, then it started moving faster in a zig zag pattern. It continued in the zig zag pattern until I could not see it anymore. Note: The light appeared to be a bright white-ish color. Also, the object made no noise. Source elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. We can't help but wonder whether this might be a hoax. PD

There were several circular, blinking lights in the sky. Some were reddish in hue that blinked and pulsed white and very, very quickly--a greenish light. There was a bright gold star-like light that moved then was hovering over the area. There were three to four white, blinking lights that seemed to be aware that I was watching them. When I waved at them, hoping they would be able to see me, their movements became more rapid and longer in distance. During the three hours I was walking around in and out of the Hangman Hills neighborhood, I saw five to six "shooting stars". However, I realized after the third one that they were moving a bit slowly to be shooting starts, and I believe that they were craft, dipping in and out of perhaps our dimension, or perhaps my disbelief and excitement prohibited me from being able to perceive them for a prolonged amount of time. As I continued watching, different craft would become "seen" by me that were closer and closer to me. I truly believe that they wanted to be seen and the whole experience was very peaceful, calm and loving.
