La Center, WA
La Center WA: October 3, 2015, 8:30 p.m. - While looking at stars with my granddaughter, we saw a bright moving object which we thought was a satellite. However, it quickly disappeared. Then another bright object appeared, traveled a short distance and also disappeared. We continued looking at CLEAR night sky and saw a few satellites move across the sky which we tracked until they went out of view. I have no idea what the two objects were that suddenly appeared and then vanished. They were very high in sky and no sound at all. Leaves me wondering what we saw?

A red white and blue light in the sky. It was just there about 60 degrees going west following the stars. Red on top, white in the middle and blue on the bottom. Then the red and blue changed position. Then it disappeared on the horizon.

Shelton, WA
I had just sat down on the porch (facing NNW) for a smoke at 9:07pm PDT on 09-29-2015. When I looked up, I saw a bright white light approx. 50° up from the horizon to the north. It had an apparent magnitude of -4.5 to -5 -- approximately that of the planet Venus at perigee from Earth. It moved very slowly from N to S and began to decrease in intensity slowly and smoothly; reaching extinction approx. 25 seconds after I first spotted it. The light color was pure white with no color tints; though there ***MAY*** have been a faint reddish corona around it, when it was at maximum intensity. Weather conditions at the time were clear, temperature 54.10°F (12.28°C), and calm winds.

Spokane, WA
While driving south on Wall Street towards downtown Spokane, I saw green ball of light starting about 45 degrees up from the horizon, zooming down to horizon in less than 2 seconds and disappeared. I would call it a "fireball" because it was much bigger than a star or the meteors I've seen. We suspect a meteor. PD

Bremerton, WA
Whilst observing the blood moon with my wife, we decided to look around for any other activity. While walking down our street, under the cover of some neighboring trees, my wife sees two circular objects. She said she focused on the one moving fastest and she pointed it out over head of us, as it manuvered in multiple directions and only had a faint light on it. We only observed it for about 20-30 seconds as it was moving very fast, and then disappeared completely from sight. It was high enough up to be a satellite, but made manuvers no satellite is capable of.

Vancouver, WA
On September 27th at 8:00 pm my daughter was on our back deck looking west when she noticed a red ball of light moving in different directions and she yelled at me to come and see what she was watching. When I went out, I witnessed a red flashing ball of light move upward in the sky rather quickly and then stop and stay in place briefly. It then moved back down and moved to the right at a fast speed and again stopping for a moment. It then moved to the left but this time moving slower and the flashing red light then pulsated quicker about 6 times. Also during this time a plane was flying towards it moving opposite direction than it was and at a different altitude passing each other. Then, once again it paused and then moved right again moving quickly and then moving out of my site behind trees and not seen after that. This was witnessed for about 5 minutes. This was not a plane.

They were flying side by side in pairs of 2.

Elk, WA
me and a few buddies stepped out on our portch at about 3 am. for a cigarette on September 27, 2015. right away not too far in the distance. I bright light appeared to be hovering 500 feet above the ground. we noticed it a bright white light at first and we could tell it was spinning. we notices random flashes of tiny light appear and disappear all around the craft. after a couple minute we would see it make slight movements to the right and left. we had the idea to shine a flash light at it. immediately after flashing the light the aircraft began changing color and stopped spinning. we all thought it was focusing on us. we notice it slightly coming closer to us foot at a time. we watched this hovering craft for an hour and a half before we couldn't bare the coldness anymore. I have never seen anything like this is my life. I've always heard stories about UFO sighting but I've never put much care into it... whatever we saw last night, saw us to. when the craft floated closer we felt a different presence in the air. a heavier feeling. A shop light on front of my friends garage flickered off for a few seconds and flickered back on when the craft started slowly getting farther away. I was terrified but something about this thing in the sky had all of us drawn in. the horses in our field were acting up and getting scared. i think somebody needs to check this out

Burien, WA
Leaving my friend's house, we looked up to admire the night sky noticed one, large bright red round light approximately one mile up. The light wasn't moving at all. After a few minutes, the light object dropped suddenly and vanished. Note: coordinates for Burien, Wash 47.4683* N, 122.3456*W, Area 13.23 mi coordinates for Seahurst, Wash. 47.46927N, 122.36207. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be serious-minded. We suspect that she is a reliable witness. PD

Slow moving north to south chevron or boomerang shape. Very light color, maybe beige, yellow...looked almost like it was translucent. Unsure of size but it seemed to be flying low.

Everett, WA
Around 800pm, four of us noticed three fireballs in the sky towards the south. They flickered and moved back and forth throughout the skies, it slowly changed to four fireballs from three. They stayed in the sky over the south for a few hours, they continuously moved back and fourth but mostly they just hovered in the sky. At this point two of my neighbor's came outside and witnessed the lights as well. Once ten o'clock rolled around, the fireballs slowly, one by one, started to flicker and disappear. Once the last two were almost gone suddenly multiple man made aircrafts were seen flying in the area with lights, shining them through the clouds in the same spots the fireballs were hovering at. Since then the birds in the vicinity of where the lights were, have been acting very strange. They seem as though they are spooked, they seemed almost nervous. They were obviously looking for what we had seen, the lights are usually there every night at the same time they've even been seen during the day.

Desmoines, WA
My roomate and I were sitting in my backyard talking when we noticed two spheres really close to each other about 12,000-15,000 ft up. It didn't look like a helicopter or a plane. It was also clear as day out so it was easy to see. One sphere was larger and the other was a small sphere circling around it. After about 30 seconds it picks up speed and flies straigt up. I never seen anything like it before and it is my first time seeing it so it really freaked me out but it disappeared within seconds after looking at it. Straight up into space. And there weren't any clouds, so it's not like it flew out of sight.

What the heck is going on! I just posted another sighting on Sept. 14th. I have seen 2 anomalies tonight. The first one was at approx. 11:25 pm (09/15/2015). A jet was flying over heading from west to east. Right behind it was another object which I assumed was the International space station. It was bright white and turned reddish as it receded into the horizon. I looked up the ISS schedule and it was not due until 4:53 AM. My second much more unexplained sighting, just happened a few minutes ago 12:12 AM (09/16/2015) and I would describe this as bird or boomerang shaped, hazy red in color. It was flying at a high rate of speed coming from the east and heading Northwest. It disappeared into some light cloud cover. I observed it for about 30 seconds or so.

Everett, WA
On the morning of 9/14/2015 @ 6:00am, I let my cat out (which I do every morning), I looked directly toward the eastern sky, towards a well known plane manufacture co. I saw a very bright light (directly above this plane manufacturing co.) that did not move, and up a little higher and more south east, there was another bright light, slowly moving upwards. At first I thought it was stars, since it was still a little dark outside, but the sky was clear, except just below the "first bright light," was a "chem trail" or should I say exhaust trail from a previous plane. So I asked my boyfriend to come an check this out. He took a look at both bright lights, got frightened an ran back inside. I then grabbed my tablet, and video taped what I had seen. When I zoomed on the light, it was illuminating, throwing off different colors. My boyfriend described it as looking as if the light was vibrating. For some reason I could not film the second light on my video, while the first light did not move, the second one was climbing upwards. I had to go inside to get ready for work, when we left around 6:50, both lights were gone. Later that day I told my father about it, he said he seen the same "first bright light" that I had, he also says he does not known what it was.

Wenatchee, WA
At exactly 12:56 am on Sept. 14, 2015, I was letting my dogs out for their final run. I looked up at the sky and notices a cluster of "approx" 20 hazy white lights. I tried to count them but they kept rapidly changing formation. This cluster kept pulsating, interchanging and dancing around each other as it moved fairly quickly through the sky. Its direction when first noticed, was heading west then south then east. It eventually faded out when it went into the edge of a cloud cover. The area that I observed it in was clear sky. As it moved through the sky it would form somewhat of a circle then split into 2 different clusters, then somewhat of a line and at one point looked what formed a perfect arrow. It was like it was alive and pulsating, I had to continue to move around the yard to follow its movement, but did not take my eyes off of it. At one point both of my Chihuahua's started growling and that is when I started feeling very uncomfortable with what I was seeing. I literally started trembling because its maneuver of changing directions was happening right above me.

George (The Gorge amphitheatre), WA
My brother and I were at the Gorge to see the Foo fighters rock band. I had left the venue early and went back to our camp. I was reclined on my camping recliner looking at the stars. As I was looking South, and saw a meteor shoot from almost directly above to about two hand widths above the horizon. Right where the meteor blinked out I saw another light coming towards me so fast I thought at first it was another meteor. When it was directly above me, I could make out red and white, fuzzy. Either the object was spinning or the lights were moving around the periphery. The object headed North and made an arc NE as it went out of sight. It appeared to be about 5-10,000 feet high, no sound. From the time I saw it in the South until it disappeared in the NE about 4 seconds elapsed. I about broke my neck keeping it in sight. I had goosebumps after I witnessed this, as I have never in my life seen an object travel as fast as this did. I immediately texted my wife and friend who share the same interest in UFO's as I. The text time is 11:43pm.

Renton, WA
My dad and I camped out in our backyard to star watch. We saw 2 lights. He says they were going North, and I say East. We both agree they were two lights, at arms length about a tennis ball apart. They were bright at first, then faded a bit simultaniously. They seemed to move like they were in orbit. My dad wishes me to include that if it was just one, perhaps it was a satalite, but because the consistent moving bodies dimmed (but not disapeared) at the exact same rate, that it seems it is something unique. The objects were traveling on the same path, not side by side.

Bremerton, WA
2-3 miles up saw an orange light moving north to south about the speed of a small plane. It was around 9:30pm. There was no noise or collision lights or tail light. Just one constant light. It was seen over Dyes Inlet, between Bremerton and Port Orchard. Night was warm and very clear. No clouds for days. About 30 sec after first seeing object it slowly disappeared. Approximately 15 minutes later both my co-worker saw the same object again, traveling in same direction as previous sighting. This light was extremely bright for how high it appeared. We see planes and helicopter all the time. It was neither. It seemed much too high, and light too big and bright, for a drone.

Tonight, I witnessed object flying at low speed with multiple extremely luminous red lights from North to south. It raised up then down in a low amplitude arc then stopped abruptly. It hovered for approximately 30 seconds, then all the lights turned green. Approximately 30 seconds after that a small (air craft looking) light green strobe started. The craft then raised and lowered a short distance before returning to its original position. The craft then lowered below my sight line. No sound. I live in an area with a lot of air traffic, and this was unlike anything seen before. It may be possible that it was a drone, however from the size, distance, and speed, I find it unlikely.
