It looked like what was a jet going straight up in the sky with jet streams behind it.... But wasn't moving… then two fighter jets flew above and below it and there were a couple helicopters. And in a matter of a couple seconds the jet streams behind it disappears and it's just a shiny ball in the sky then the ball vanishes out of thin air

Was turning onto the ramp to get on 167; saw four lights flash in the sky out of the corner of my eye, toward 24th St. E. Couldn't see anything else.

While i was walking my dogs with my boyfriend at night, we happened to see a purple cloud, light up before our eyes. At first we thought it was coming from someones house but on closer inspection, we noticed the light was too high above the clouds to have come from a house. This cloud was tall and was connected with the other clouds in the sky. It was moving south of King County here in WA state. It was partly cloudy tonight but you could see the glow so clearly and so vibrant. As we rushed inside to show our friend, the entire cloud was gone! But the rest of the clouds remained. It was the weirdest thing i have ever seen. This was my first paranormal sighting, if you can call it that. I'm hoping someone else reported this but it was at 1:50am in the morning so I don't believe so.

Edmonds, WA
I was looking up at the moon and out of the corner of my eye I observed a florescent cigar shape object heading north west direction. When the thing I was looking at separated in to two of them they continued to travel in same direction for a few seconds then one went east the other continued in a northwest direction then disappeared it was like the things I was looking at were skipping on air in some way. The background of the night sky was pretty clear, a few clouds were out. It did not look like a plane or anything that I have ever seen man-made. Not to say it wasn't

My porch has a good view of southeast. A gold ball of light came up from behind the hills above Malaga, just about directly below Sirius. It was about half again the size of Sirius from my perspective. It floated straight up, then drifted off to the left a bit. It was turning a darker red and fading out and then took off at an angle going up and to the right. Not a minute later another gold ball floats up from the same area and then turns darker and makes a 90 degree angle to the left for about 4-5 seconds, and disappears.

Kent, WA
It was around 9:30 PM and I was just returning home from picking up my sister at my brother’s house. I was parking the car in the driveway and when I got out of the car, I noticed several reddish orange fireball like lights streaming across the sky very low, just barely above the tree line it seemed. I quickly told my sister who was getting out of the car as well, and she looked up and saw what I was seeing. We watched them fly across the sky from the south heading north. After the first group went, I looked back and saw that more were approaching as well. The objects did not appear to be making any sound at all as they flew across the sky. I watched them fly by in the distance and they appeared to be getting smaller and then started to look like stars in the sky in the distance. I am not for sure, but it almost seemed like they were going upward into the sky at that point and not across. My sister took pictures with her cell phone and posted the photos on her Facebook page. I also called family and friends startled by what I had witnessed and told them about the experience.

Stepped out on my porch and saw what I first thought was a star low in the sky above the ridge across the Columbia River. My first thought was Sirius because it was sort of blinking quickly like that star does, only it was staying the same orangish color. It was about three times the size of Venus and a bit more orange than Mars, and it was stationary in the sky. I called my daughter out to see and as we were looking at it, it slowly got smaller and disappeared. This was in almost the same area as the two gold balls of light I reported on 2/25/14. This area is where the big power lines come up from Rock Island Dam. Duration of sighting: about 2 minutes.

Awoke to strange sounds, it seemed to be coming from above my house, made the windows vibrate. Very creepy, sounded like something from a sci-fi movie....... It was not a truck ,plane or helicopter....very odd oscillating high to low pitch. We were frightened. At first, I thought it might be vibration from the tunneling going on in Seattle right now, but I doubt they would be operating in the wee hours of Christmas morning.

Marysville, WA
December 24th 2014 at 6:30 pm i noticed the two dogs in my house where barking erratically,almost in a panic. so i let them out the back door to let them do there business and to have a smoke.as i look up to the north sky i noticed a red light far off into the distance.as there are planes and helicopters fly over constantly.i noticed the light was bright red on the outside but a amber,almost burgundy color on the inside.that's what caught my eye.and what made me continue to watch this light come closer.after sixty seconds of this now,what appears is a red orb is no more then a eighth to a quarter mile away,it slowly circled a radius of what i only can assume a mile radius. disappearing into the tree line then reappear 30 seconds later.from when the object first appeared,to when it was close enough for me to see this was,in fact a U.F.O.to me,was about 3 minutes.startled by its slow moving obvious controlled flight pattern.and let me make this clear. this object! did not have the regulated red and green flashing lights.this object glowed. I immediately ran into the house and grabbed my phone.which was the closest camera to document this event.when i looked up.before i could start filming i noticed there where three.slowly moving one right after the other thru the tree line.i took photos but i couldn't get a shot due to neighbors porch light.how dark it was.and quality of a phone camera.this all occurred for about a minute.the three red orbs flew in a pattern.circling in ten second intervals thru the tree line.making two separate fly by's from my vantage point. i switched my phone to video record.lifted my head up,pressed record.they were gone.it was so dark.and every dog within a ear shot had a bug up there ass,and not putting it lightly.freaking out.i tried to catch a glimpse and couldn't see anything. i grabbed the dogs and put them in the house.a total of 20 seconds of doing so.i went back outside and looked up.to my absolute amazement.the tree red orbs where in a triangle formation.even closer.i pressed record and was able to get a five second recording before my phone shut down.when i say shut down,i mean immediately off.frantically turning my phone back on, i was able to capture one min,five seconds.of these three orbs in a triangle formation.suspended.then it became dark.as it seems they disappeared into a fog. 12/25/14 at rough the same time.6:32 pt i witnessed what seemed to be the same event.three red orbs.following the same flight pattern as the night before.elapsed ten minutes.but south of same vantage point.about 5 to 10 miles away.i cannot one hundred percent confirm,by that vast distance.it was the same event.although it appeared to be.there where also what seemed to be planes and helicopters following these red objects.agian.the distance between me and these objects where to far away to one hundred percent confirm.that it was the same event from the night prior.

Vashon Island, WA
On the night of December 22, 2014, at 7:35 for 6-7 minutes, I saw fireballs in the sky over the north end of Vashon Island, WA. I observed as closely as I could. They looked like extremely bright disks of fire, sometimes with pinkish-bright edges or centers; one seemed to have a metallic rim. In my vision, they were between the size of nickels and dimes. The disks were beautiful and after a time, seemed either to burn up individually or fade off in space. I was outdoors, and there was no noise, even when five more fireballs, seeming to rise out of Puget Sound, shot over the trees below me in extremely rapid succession, in a West to East trajectory into the sky overhead. The objects then became jittery and quickly flew into at least two formations. I called my sister-in-law who lives on the street above me, to go to her window. When I asked her a few days later what she saw, she said, “A big red ball in the sky.” The objects never moved toward Seattle, staying above and in front of my vision northward, until they were gone.

Waxed and waned for forty five minutes, in circular, in varying speeds.

Olympia, WA
Driving in the car, we spotted several brilliant reddish-orange lights traveling from west to east strung out along the sky. They seemed to arise from the western horizon behind the trees. They made absolutely no noise, which is why it appeared unusual to us. They flickered slightly. They were brighter than any stars or planets. They flew overhead and disappeared into the clouds to the east one by one. There was first a grouping of 6 followed by 5 more after an interval of maybe a minute. At one point, one of them passed the one ahead of it, but otherwise they seemed to move at about the same speed, similar to that of an airplane.

There were 2 orange tented glowing objects in the sky above my house. They were hovering atop of one another very close. One of the ufo's seemed much bigger than the others. The 2 ufo's slowly disappeared and another one appeared as soon as the other 2 were gone. The 3rd ufo hovered just the same and looked like the others.

Mabton, WA
13 objects appeared NE of Mabton, Washington, at a high angle in the direct of Richland, WA, and the Hanford Reservation. Objects traveled in 2 groups counterclockwise and were observed for several minutes in the northern sky. 3 pictures were taken. Sent for development.

Shoreline, WA
Just stepped out for a smoke and saw what looks like cross shaped object with red, white, blue, green lights. The lights are flashing and there doesn't appear to be any pattern to the flashing, if that makes sense. The object appears to be a couple miles high above lake Washington. It's not making any sound and it's not moving at all. I tried to get a picture of it but the camera on my phone sucks. Really weird that it's not moving. Not making a sound.

Seattle, WA
There were orange lights which moved oddly over Seattle east to west. They changed direction and speed but were mainly moving from east to west. These objects were not drifting but were moving fairly quickly and changing directions. They turned their lights on and off randomly. There was a strange white light blinking on and off nowhere near them much further away which hovered for a long time then took off to the east. The event lasted for about ten minutes that we saw. It happened over a densely populated area not all that late at night. Hopefully others saw this too. My spouse and I watched the lights but I would be surprised if we were the only ones who saw them.

Des Moines, WA
There were 4 objects hovering about 150 yards in the air along the west side of I 5 they were in line about a mile apart from each other. I was going northbound past all 4 and then a 5th one flew from the east to west crossing over I-5 and then stopped. All were the exact same. Disk shape with square panels domed out on the bottom with white lights in vents in all all of the outer most sides of the craft. There were red solid lights and a white light that blinked on one side and then immediately on the other side and repeated every couple of seconds. I took a picture. It was dark out and the picture came out all white with nothing on it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Bremerton, WA
These were orange, looked like a dominant star, such as Venus or North Star but a little more intense and they were pulsating. When I first saw them they were spread out rather widely, almost in a formation like the Big Dipper, then one by one they started to fade and disappear. Finally three of them were left and they were almost in a straight line across from each other, then one faded away and then the others. I just happened to see them when I took my dogs outside. There were no engine sounds like an airplane, they didn't have any sound. This was above the Washington Narrows in Bremerton, Washington, between the Manette and Warren Street Bridges area that I saw them. They looked to be at least the level of the clouds above.

Longview, WA
The power went out in our neighborhood around 4:00 p.m. My fiance and I decided to leave our house to go get some candles and other things we would need for the outage. We stepped outside and I looked to the sky and thought to myself how brilliant the stars looked. Immediately, I noticed two long cylinder-shaped objects in the sky. I pointed them out to my fiance and he gasped. We watched the objects for about 10 seconds. They were parallel to each other and moving in a NE direction. They were brightly lit and white almost silverish in color and identical. Moving at high speeds, they suddenly began to criss-cross with each other. Kind of zig-zagging and began to lower altitude until they vanished behind some pollution clouds from the nearby factory. This was unlike anything I ever witnessed in my entire life. My fiance saw it as well and we were both amazed. There is no possible way they could have been known human crafts. Not a shooting star, meteor or comet. Not weather balloons, or commonly human made objects. I am positive that they were intelligently maneuvered. There is no doubt in my mind that I saw something truly magnificent tonight.

I live on the waterfront and look out at Maury Island. Tonight I notice a line of very bright lights along what is a roadway on the east side of Maury. I thought they were unusually bright so I grabbed my binoculars. As I looked at them I couldn't figure out how they could have become so much brighter than ever before. I then noticed above them in the sky hovering what might have been only a couple hundred feet was a configuration of 6 dimly lit orbs in a diamond configuration. At this point my binoculars started to fog up and in the time that I took them away to wipe them clean and looked back everything was gone. The familiar dimly lit roadway lights were again visible and the diamond shape configuration of 6 orbs was gone too.

Issaquah, WA
Night. Clear conditions. A very loud helicopter with red and green running lights following close behind 2 very dark shapes about 200 feet off the ground. The dark shapes looked so black as to be holes in the sky. My guess is the 2 dark shapes were a type of stealth helicopter, which would explain how loud the identifiable helicopter seemed to be. The dark shapes could have been the profile of sophisticated military helicopters. Never seen anything like that, though. The blackness of the shapes was unnerving. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. PD

Cream colored, it looked like a shooting star, but very large, as though a small moon fell from the sky. Several other telephoned reports received by NUFORC. PD
