Sunnyside, WA

I automatically wake up to find him pointing in the sky "look!!" I look over my right side to find 4 lights beaming and moving left then right so smooth I am convince it's not a plane! One disappears into the distance then heads higher in sky. The three other lights are still there still as can be then at the same smooth pace they vanish heading towards the hill and deeper into the sky as the other one that had taken off first left straight up into the sky in a instant.

Maple Falls, WA

We observed this object with the naked eye as well as a pair of binoculars for a little over 10 minutes. We were unable to tell how far this object was, but it disappeared behind a ridge that is approximately 2500 ft away. It was easily the brightest object in the sky at the time. There were no discernible details that would suggest that this was a helicopter or other known aircraft.

Olympia, WA

Saw my first ever UFO today, February 23, 2015, at 11 a.m. Pacific Time. By UFO, I mean Unidentified Floating Object – it was not flying – had no wings, no tail, no rotors. There was no sound, though as far away as it was, even if it had been an airplane I might not have heard it. There was no condensation trail behind it. The movement of the cigar-shaped white object was so slow that it appeared to be simply floating along at perhaps about 30-40 mph. There’s a possibility it may have been a drone – I’ve not seen all the types of drones the Military has these days, and there is a Base nearby, so who knows? It could have been ours, but maybe it wasn’t. I don’t know. Here’s what happened. I had just pulled out of the Post Office parking lot on Jefferson Street in Olympia, Washington, and turned right (north). After one block Jefferson Street makes a curve to the NW and as I was looking ahead during the curve (first gorgeous blue sky day we’ve had in a while) a white cylindrical shape in the distant sky caught my attention. As a cloud watcher I am often looking at the sky, and this object caught my attention as it did not look like a normal airplane. It was long, cylindrical, no wings, tail or rotors, no windows as far as I could tell. It was hard to tell how far away it was – I would guess perhaps anywhere from 1.5 to 2 miles away. Elevation (guessing again) may have been 0.5 to one mile high. It’s really hard to tell as there was nothing to triangulate it with. I am a pilot, though I haven’t flown in years, and I’ve sailed across the Pacific Ocean from Sausalito, CA, to Hawaii, and hiked many wilderness trails alone for up to three weeks at a stint, so I’m used to seeing unusual things, but never anything like this before. As I was driving on Jefferson and it became Adam Street, I decided to watch it as it was so intriguing, so I pulled over to the sidewalk in front of a yellow fire hydrant (there was nowhere else to park) and watched it for perhaps 3-5 minutes before I couldn’t see it anymore. Here’s what it did during those minutes. From my viewpoint it was to my WNW, and was headed south, maybe a tweak to the southwest, moving very slowly, silently, for about one minute of my watch time, when suddenly it veered sharply to its right – due west – so now all I could see was the dot of its circumference. The whiteness of the object was getting dimmer as it moved further west, and suddenly I noticed a bright pomegranate colored flash below it to the south, then another less brilliant flash a little further away, then a third even dimmer and further still away. They were like light flashes, nothing exploding, not flares, and were all in a single Southern and lower trajectory from the craft. That was bizarre, then a few seconds later the craft made an abrupt turn and was longwise to my view again, pointing south. It seemed to just hover there for maybe ten seconds, not proceed further south. Then it abruptly turned West again and within a few seconds there was another brilliant flash off the side of the craft – a brilliant whitish green electric colored flash – white on the far side, greener closer to the craft. That flash was fan shaped, different that the burst of round light previously seen. The fanned-out part of the white-green flash was away from the craft, while the narrow part of the fan-shape was right near the craft. I kept watching and it got harder and harder to see, as it was moving slowly further away. I started up the truck and drove over to a parking area on Capitol Lake, got out and continued looking for it, but didn’t see it again. Lots of people were out walking around the lake, and after maybe an hour of me walking around it slowly while still searching the sky, I finally got back to the truck, drove to do a quick errand, then decided to drive back to where I had originally seen it. I took photos of the location, made a quick video, got back in the truck and was about to drive away when I saw something that almost looked like the same white cigar shape again – Same location in the sky – only this time it was higher and harder to see than it had been the first time. I watched it closely but it disappeared as it headed south much more quickly than the first one – within maybe ten seconds – due to its higher elevation and distance from me – not to its speed, as it was still slow. There is an airport to the south of Olympia and I frequently see low flying planes coming in on approach, but that flight pattern is different than where these objects were flying. These were too high for approach and way too far west. The best I can figure is they were above West Olympia and the southernmost shores of Puget Sound heading southwest and west which would take them (or at least the first one) over Black Lake and perhaps on over to the Capitol State Forest. Don’t know what they were, but I do know they were not planes, helicopters or any other craft I am familiar with.

Quincy, WA

At 6:14 tonight, I was driving south on highway 281 out of Quincy, Washington. I noticed an extremely bright light plummeting toward earth at about a 30 degree angle. Whilst driving I noticed that the object was white hot, or at least it seemed with a dark area in the middle of it. It actually reminded me of the movie Empire Strikes Back when the probe droids are shot out of the Star Destroyer in the beginning of the movie. I thought for sure there would be a huge impact, but at the last second, the object leveled out so that it was horizontal to the skyline and just above the mountain range. It then seemed to glow brighter and brighter then shot off towards the SW in the direction of Mount Rainier. There was quite a few people pulled over on the side of the road I'm sure wondering if they might witness it again.

Vancouver, WA

Outside with the kids playing. ..saw a bright red triangle object spiraling straight up, putting out trails, going in straight line, trails disappearing as fast as they were made. ...then it just vanished,reappeared ...then disappeared again for good. No sound emitted, dead silent. No lights flashing or constant. No clouds in the sky...light out. ..very good view. Definitely not an airplane. I have a family member that was a pilot. ...no aircraft they ever saw looked like this or moved like this.

Raymond, WA

There were three, bright orange circles in the distance sky that were moving at a 45 degree angle. They were moving in a straight line and then formed into three triangle forms. After three minutes, they slowly faded away (disappeared). Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Anacortes, WA

A bright object, greenish in color, approached overhead. Luminosity was comparable to a full moon. An airplane started flying into the same patch of sky. My wife and I observed the object come to a near stop to avoid the airplane, then change directory (90 degrees to the right and more than 90 degrees upward, into the atmosphere), and slowly disappear from view into clouds high in the sky.

Skamokawa, WA

At approximately 7:20 pm, I was driver on HWY S-4 from Skamokawa to Cathlamet to and notice a Huge White lighted UFO above the Columbia River adjacent to the Julia Butler Hansen Wildlife Refuge. I pulled over on the Highway shoulder and watched it. I notice it was traveling West, or downriver. I immediately drove back the direction I came to Skamokawa Vista Park to get a better view of it. It was then going towards Jim Crow Mountain/ Jim Crow Point, which sticks out in the Lower Columbia. It stayed there many minutes. It was about 200 ft high, and the main object was about '75 ft. in diameter. It was round White light--so bright it lit up the Columbia river from its glow! I looked through binoculars at it. It was changing shape. With the naked eye it sometimes went to a dull orange color. It was absolutely silent. There were other lights flying around short after it disappeared (at 7:55 pm) far down river and Jim Crow Pt obscured it. The other lights were blinking red and white. and smaller. You'd think that these were maybe airplanes, BUT when looking at them in binocs they have several other multi colored lights blinking on them also! These other lights were going more North and South and going back over the woods of Wahkiakum County. This is very rural area. Not many people outside...or seem to look in the air. Maybe they think these are planes! They are not! They are silent. And move very slow. Years ago I read of Police reports in the local paper of residents up East Valley, Skamokawa reporting UFOS right down LOW by their property! I grew up in this small town, and over the years have observed many UFOs of various colors and sizes fly around and go back into the woods of the Willapa Hills. This area is way downriver from Portland. It would be hard to imagine them being from the Portland airport some 80 miles away. I have seen Huge Green Lights. Huge White Lights. Multi-Colored lights fly back over these hills. Last late September 2014, approx. the 28th I saw one fly right over the town of Skamokawa going North up towards East Valley, maybe 300 ft up, it had all different colored lights blinking on it, absolutely silent!! In binoculars I could see it was like a 28 ft size Black Triangle. It seems a lot of people just don't look up! These are there if people would just take the time and go outside at night for 3-4 hours after first dark on clear nights. On Jan. 15, 2015, it was slightly cloudly and foggy, and I saw a Huge Round Green Light about as big as a house descend straight down across the river on the Oregon side into those forested hills. Its was fast, but not as fast as a meteor. As you could tell it was controlled. It went "straight" down.

One silent, red-orange glowing object seen moving NE to SW at slow constant drift speed over neighborhood hills. Seemed size of large microwave oven at about 200-300’ feet. Square or pyramid shaped. Light was shimmering, looked fiery, blurry, within framework structure. Seen by husband and wife from backyard on clear night, around 8pm PST, for about one minute. No wind at time of sighting.

Redmond, WA

2015-02-15 (Sunday 20:00 - 20:30) Clear Sky - No Clouds In passenger vehicle SEA-TAC Air Traffic Visible Overhead and in the Distance. While driving south on 166th AVE NE in Redmond, Washington my passenger and i BOTH saw a brilliant white light traveling EAST to WEST in an what seemed to be a descending flight path. The light was much brighter than the SEA-TAC air traffic. No debris/sparks/trailing fire were visible at or near the object. The object was traveling significantly faster than the commercial SEA-TAC aircraft traffic that were visible. The object was traveling EAST to WEST from approximately 10:00 (EAST) to 3:00 (WEST). SEA-TAC air traffic is a constant presence in the sky over our community. I've seen many different types of aircraft of varying types (private, commercial, and military fixed, rotary, and jets) in the sky over Redmond at different altitudes. Never have I seen any aircraft traveling at this speed. Additionally the apparent angle of descent had me expecting a fireball in the distance. Nothing.

Seattle, WA

My friend and i where driving s.bound on 65th 15th n.w. off to the right of us up in the sky my friend said what the @&$! Is that i looked and at first i was ugh there were 3-4 (i cant recall exact pattern but amounts i know are true) sets of lights in rows of 4 bright as all get out and close to us not normal flight elevation for area, as soon as we saw them they shut down one row at a time then the aircraft? Started moving towards downtown seattle no sound could be heard at all I also want to add there where no planes around at first which was strange cuase there always is, as it cont. There was a small plane off to the distance like past downtown seattle and much further up in the sky it seemed and aircraft ? /ship or /ships( will get to that in a moment) it moved swiftly towards sm. aircraft as if it had no worries to crashing into but didn't, it hovered for a moment and changed course and again no planes no drones ect were in the sky it was also a very clear evening in the skies, so it started towards wallingford, freemont area ,if you know ballard im going to give you an example of how big this thing was or appeared from 15th n.w. looking towarrds the hill that goes to wallingford is a few miles no. And so. Bounds and this craft was literally covering almost the entire hill still in almost invisible motion and still very low im talking like almost right on top of houses .we both are tripping jaws hanging all i could say is it has to be a stealth moving as it was it was becoming more and more transparent it was a triangle shape and black and huge i mean huge. I said we gotta see what this thing is and where the blank is it going my friend can only say what is that almost speechless almost frozen in augh. We followed it up the hill , now on aurora ave n. going south my friend pulled out his brother binaculars that are little more advance ( used in maritime) and handed me his phone to take pic's instead i hit record and it d! id for a few seconds then, my friend switched with me so i cou! ld see a better shot to be able to tell him what it is . We cont. driving so down aurora it started to lightly rain, me looking at craft but also the road, i had pulled over a cpl times too let friend take photos well in the meantime he stuck out his hand with camara out the window and was video taping ,at this point we could see what looked like a ring of bright red lights just for a brief moment underneath it . We both were taking about how nobody i mean nobody the entire time had stopped , pointing or looking up at it and can't believe no one else is seeing what were seeing even on busy aurora ave no one even blew their horn or stopped further down to see what were looking at, which is strange cause if and when i see people as in grossed as we were looking up at something its natural habit to also look as far as im concerned from experience. All of a sudden it had vanished mind you still no sound at all nor planes, drones ect.in these moments i had got on the phone to tell a frie! nd to look up in the sky to see it ( he lives in renton area), he kind of chuckled and laugh and said said something silly im kind of known as being a goof ball really meaning being silly to make people have a smile and laugh ? and my friend traveling with me well i'll describe him as being stuck in the 80's which i'm also known for too. We continued to look for it as we drove towards the friend in rentons house, both in just aughh trying figure out what on gods green earth did we just experience and why no one seemed a bit cauntious of any thing but what they were doing my friend was trying to look back at video but a lil hard on sm screen but never the less it was there in fact theres more than one as well as photos well you might think this was the end of it ,yeah no theres more , my friend could not stop with almost obsessing of it? As we picked our other friend up in renton , i mentioned to first friend look Now theres all kind of planes up in the sky as we drove south! to my house ( bonney lake) we were at boeing field area and w! e notice d two planes that did actually look like our military helicopters there was twoo and they were in like a certain position as though they were protecting or watching or guiding something slowly moving they become into a different formation , one slightly lower than other and was moving down towards the ground then there were a bunch of planes coming from all angles going into boeing field as well as seatac and most likely renton airfield as well it was crazy. So my friend quit in the back seat except for a few uttered words ( what the heck was that ,still looking at pic's and video ,we soon discovered ( here's where i mentioned i would get to later ) well it seemed as though there may have been more than one craft and that they looked as if they flew into the bigger one not only that and many lights flying around in speratic motions there is what we have learned to be a devil or evil figurine in a red light cloud that appears as if was watching us amongst other formations of different objects very clearly seen ( also later everyone who has viewed it agreed). My friend is now in a spooked mood but still cant get over it he continued to look up in the sky as i did too and still, well he had been looking out my kitchen window and was seeing objects again but smaller in size like orb size in a neighbors yard and came to get me too see i told him its just porch or garage lights of neighbors he again began to video tape and well theres many suspected things seen including the very pronounced red cloud demon he was so scared he couldn't leave my room I tried to distract him by telling him it was probly this or that just to ease his mind. Well there's a short almost thorough detailed story of my moment with what seemed to be not of this world as i've known it , my friend however has really looked in more depth to video's and pic's and will have more to add to his . Thank you for your time ((name and e-mail address deleted))

Just below the Little Dipper, at approx. 5000 ft., a brightly colored pulsating red orb slowly moving SE, then stopped, again moved slowly southeastward. It then appeared to fade in its brightness until it was a very faint glow. It continued at a faster slide stop, slide stop movement toward Bremerton shipyard location. The town streetlights obscured any more visual.

Preston, WA

2/12/15 11:40pm Driving east on I-90 (70mph), approaching Preston, WA. Visualization of lights in sky appearing to be somewhere over North Bend or Snoqualmie, WA heading west over I 90. Lights formed two chevrons-one above the other. Each light =4x size of a star seen with naked eye. Each chevron was composed of two blue lights for its right half, and two red lights for its left half. Therefore, I saw 4 blue lights on right and 4 red lights on left heading toward my location. They seemed to be flying at the altitude of the red warning beacon on one of the mountain tops, but each single light in this grouping was 3x size of a beacon. Color was remarkable. Couldn’t figure out what it was. Never seen anything in the sky that large with SUCH COLOR. Deep, intense, cobalt blue lights formed the right half as it approached (which made it on the left as I looked at it). Bright red lights formed its left half. As it moved further west, the blue lights turned completely off and then on again. Not at quick, even intervals as you’d see with a strobe light. It was slower and random. Before it passed over the left (north) side of my car, this blue-lights-off-then-on occurred probably 5 times. Co-worker saw similar lights while still in Issaquah, WA. Worker said the lights were green, remained stationary, then moved off and away sideways (south?).

I, too, experienced the same event on February 11th at 2:30 am. No craft seen; I was awake because I worked swing shift that evening; I heard pulsating, lights flickering, went off, a strange noise I cannot identify, and what I thought sounded like footsteps outside of my window. I was extremely frightened. The witness appeared on a radio program to talk about her sighting, and she was quite convincing. PD

Port Orchard, WA

At approximately 0230, I was woken by a low frequency pulsing sound. The best I can describe the sound in words is “WOB WOB WOB WOB WOB!” My power flickered in my house but didn’t go out, then the sound came back, only louder this time, and then the power shut off in our entire neighborhood. I figured maybe a transformer had blown because of a storm, but when I looked outside my window, the trees were all still, no wind and no rain. I did notice that there was a thick haze everywhere, and in the dull ambient light outside, I could see what looked like a dark shadow moving through the air, it could’ve been clouds shifting in the air, but as I said, the trees were still. There was a neighbor dog that was barking hysterically for a couple minutes after the event. The power took approximately 30 minutes to come back and when it did, 2 of my 3 ceiling fans were on high speed, which is weird because we never put them on high speed, especially through the night because it makes it impossible to sleep. It was a rather eerie event; I have never heard or had anything like this happen before.

I am a imsomniac, and had gotten up to let our dog out at about 2am in waiting for her to come back to the door i was watching out the side window of the door and observed something about 200 feet away coming on my right crossing our hay field it was dark and snowing hard but have a yard light to illuminate the shop area At first it just didnt register in my head i shook my head thinking and blinked several times thinking i i was seeing things it continued coming from my right, i stared intently trying to make the details out as it passed from right to left about 20 feet abouve the ground and about 50 feet in front of me It was a very definite wedge shape , colored charcoal black with some browns like it was made to blend into the darkness. It made no noise or had any lights and vanished as it vanished as it passed my door My dog actually growled at it as it passed by I swear to you this was not a figment of my imagination and is not a lie i was not seeing things and it could not be anything other than what i saw i have never seen any other UFO in my 58 years of life
