Lynwood, WA
Sighting 10/23/14 To the eye of the observer 1 (driver) 57 year old male. On October 23rd at between (7:20- 7:23) Vehicle: 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan traveling north on WA interstate RT5 Driver observed object (bright white light) in NE direction traveling at a high rate of speed visually descend from East to West at an angle of between 25 -35 degrees. Length of visual contact no greater then 1 to 2 seconds (as observed by driver) Object (light) did not flame out, but went out (went dark), there was no visible tale to the object (Light) nor was the light dancing or changing color. To the eye of the observer 2 (passenger) 23 year old male. Passenger reported seeing the object (light) (same direction same decent) for roughly between 4 -5 seconds. Passenger stated that at one point the light “blinked out” Further stated: “Maybe it was the cloud, maybe it went behind a cloud, I don’t know” Both the driver and the passenger continued to look for any signs of an object after light went out. Nothing noted. The road was heavily traveled at the time. There was no glare on the windshield from cars behind the van, there was no visible buildings under which the object (light ) passed over. Vehicles traveling in the opposite direction where not visibly head on to the van, nor where there any overpasses in the direction (See map attached- sent tvia mail) of the sighting of the object (light). Nor were there any side roads or onramps, leading on to the highway, which could account for glare on the windshield. Date of sighiting 10/23/14 Time of sighting 7:20- 7:23 PM Light (night, Dark) Well lit highway Color of object (light) Bright white “Brilliant” “Consistent” Weather was partly cloudy Temperature was 53 degrees F Location was INT RT 5 North bound middle lane Between Exit 183 and 186 (roughly Midway) See map sent via mail Sight line above horizon (see attatched rendition on drawings for pass and driver) Age of observers 57 (Driver) and 23 (passenger) both males No alcohol no drugs involved. No missing time No Sound heard Conclusion: Most likely meteor, however the apparent closeness and brilliance of the object combined with the quickness in which it blinked out . Seemed most unusual.

I witnessed this object looking west at 11:00 p.m. it hovered there as I watched for about 10 minutes. As I watched the object it had red, blue, green, yellow but mostly white lights flashing with no pattern but consistently flashing in the night sky. I would estimate the object to be approximately ½ mile away. It hovered a couple hundred feet above the trees. We live in a highly wooded area, lots of trees. I watch it and went inside my home after about 10 minutes. It was still hovering when I went inside my home. The size of the object I cannot be sure of but it was rectangular shaped and was big enough to see all the different colors flashing. I have seen this object before in the night sky a few other times always in the west sky in the last 2 years that I have lived in Brush Prairie, Washington, but never have reported it until now. This object was closer than it has ever been to our home. It was not an airplane, helicopter, satellite or meteor. I like to go out in the evening and look at the constellations and because we are 25 minutes away from Vancouver, Wa. It is very dark and you can really see the stars.

Bremerton, WA
Object flew over residential area. The object appeared to be star or diamond shaped. The object was very bright. The light was white at first and as it vanished became amber. It cruised much lower than an airplane, was completely silent, and was only one light. skies were very clear. It flew over in a slightly curved path and vanished before it met any tree line or horizon. It took about 2 seconds to turn from a white light, to an amber light, and then no light. When it completely vanished, a light blue flash cascaded over the treetops and houses, making the topside of everything slightly blue for about one whole second. The light seemed to come from the object. There was no sound of thunder.

Peeked out of the shutter and saw exactly what was in the last video. Got the binoculars. It was brighter with almost a turquoise light wth red and white lights as well. Too high to be on the mountain and it was still there when I looked again 20 minutes later. Saw it again a few months later and again from the other side as I drove in from Portland about 3 am. These videos all shot from different locations and submitted by others at different times. I scoured Youtube looking for evidence of other sightings in Tri cities and this is the result. Insomniac prankster with a drone and too many batteries in the garage? You tell me. I have no clue what it was. Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Monroe, WA
Saw blue light low on horizon, hard to determine distance away. Light was very bright blue, at first I thought it was a star but it didn't twinkle and was too low. I was looking to the north east and it appeared farther than the houses about 2000 feet away. From my perspective it was about a foot off the roofline of those houses. After viewing for about a minute it appeared to fade out, changining to a red color then coming back to blue. As we were watching it the light went up rather quickly, while staying blue. From my perspective it was about 20 feet off the roofline. The light then dropped down below the roofline after about 25 seconds. Didn't see it anymore after that. My guess is it was either far away but there are mountains in the backdrop or it was very small and closer. Personal drone maybe?

Auburn, WA
While driving northbound on highway 167 in Auburn, WA, I sighted a large green ball approximately 100ft from the ground. It was hurtling toward the earth. If it impacted the ground, it made no audible sound. It was large, maybe 15x15ft in diameter. It was only in the sky for 5-10 seconds because it was moving quickly. It disappeared over the west side of the highway.

We were outside taking in the cool evening air around 830 pm in Ferndale, WA, something caught my attention out the corner of my eye naturally I turned towards the Pacific looked up at what caught my eye, and saw a couple of planes three of them to be exact I thought well that’s weird why are they all in the same area almost circling a specific area in the sky (my husband said they were doing that to get ready to land) anyway, in the distance I saw a blue-ish light noticeably different from the lights coming from the three planes. The planes had strobes on them like every other plane in the sky. I said to my husband please tell me you see that weird light coming from the Pacific area above or near Lummi Nation? He said yeah, I do. So this blue-ish light from a distant seem to have jumped or slipped I don’t know what to call it but it instantaneously appeared near the planes and the plane lights disappeared (confused) the light made a left turn as it was comi! ng from the pacific area and went toward Canada.

At 6:15 pm my son and I were returning in our boat from a day of fishing. We looked West over Maury island and saw what we thought was a meteor falling at angle and leaving a bright trail. The trail stopped, the object went sideways and started another short fall with another bright trail. The second trail was much shorter and going in a different direction. The trail stopped and a bright light came out of it, moved toward us and disappeared. The trails turned to clouds and slowly disappeared. I tried to film this episode but my IPhone was suddenly dead and would not turn on. 20 minutes later when I got home my phone was fine, I turned it on and it had 50% battery power.

Goldendale, WA
October 2014, on the night of the blood moon, I decided to stay up all night to see the moon eclipse. At 3:30am, at the height of the eclipse, I woke my family up to come outside and see it. My daughter and I walked out our back door first onto our back deck with my son and husband following behind. As soon as my daughter and I reached the edge of the deck, we turned back towards our house to look at the moon which was above the house. At the ridgeline of the roof, a bright, white light appeared and flew along the entire roofline of the home. It was an orb, very bright, brilliant white, and kind of had an appearance of a 'sparkler.' The kind I used to play with on the fourth of July as a kid. It was not more than a foot above the roof, and was about the size of a cantalope. It lasted 3 seconds and my daughter and I gasped in amazement having both seen it. My husband and son had not looked up in time, having therefore missed it. We marveled at the moon and described the orb we saw for several minutes, and at that point, my husband went back inside. As the children and I walked off the deck and into the yard, we saw another orb just like the one a few minutes prior. It appeared 20 ft above us, flew for 3 seconds and fizzled out. It too looked like a sparkler and was the same size. All three of us saw this one. There was no noise with either one.

Goldendale, WA
Dear Mr. Davenport, I am writing to report several UFO sightings I have witnessed over the past 4 years. I am 33 years old, and have never seen a UFO before until 2010. I am a mother of two children (10 and 8 years old) and do not use drugs or alcohol. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools. Along with myself, my husband and two children have been co-witnesses to the sightings. One of my neighbors was also present during one of the sightings. In October 2010, I moved to Goldendale, Washington. We had just bought our 5 acre property and were living in a fifth wheel while developing the property for a home. Our property is 15 miles outside of town and is in the woods. We had a small campfire and it was about 8pm at night. My husband and I were standing outside around the campfire and the children were there as well. It was a clear and cold October night sky. My husband and I looked up, and right above the 70ft pine trees about 100 yards away, appeared a bright yellow light about the size of a washing machine and round in shape. It was noiseless and moving towards us fairly slowly. As it got above the trees that were right around us, it shot up straight into the sky as fast as you could blink and disappeared. There was no noise. We both saw this and the encounter lasted about 10-15 seconds. My children did not see this one. The second sighting was in the winter of 2012/2013. I got up in the middle of the night and went into my living room and looked out my windows. Across the road, was a ploughed wheat field about 80 acres in size with pine trees flanking the sides and back of the field. I witnessed another yellow orb hovering above the trees in the back of the wheat field. It hovered for several minutes, and then it shot up in the air and disappeared. I did not know if there was noise, as I was inside. The orb was the size of a basketball from where I was. The next day my neighbor, who lives about 15 acres down the road from me, came over and asked if I had seen the orb the night before at the back of the wheat field. I verified that I had, and his description was the same as mine. The third sighting was the same time, winter of 2012/2013 and I was driving home from town with my two children. It was about 9pm. To the north of town, there is a small mountain range called the Simcoe Mountains. The children and I saw a huge neon green fireball shoot across the top of the mountain range and disappear. The light was very bright and noticeable and lasted about 3 seconds. It started out bright green, then turned a brilliant orange. I do not know if anyone else from town saw this, but there were at this time, several places around the world on the news reporting fireballs in the sky. In the summer of 2013, my children were playing outside in the middle of the afternoon. They came bursting inside the house and said they saw a UFO and wanted me to come and look. I went outside, and to my amazement, there was a metal, cigar or blimp shaped craft hovering above the woods. It was not directly above us, but aways off and hovering about as high as a low flying helicopter. It looked about the size of a washing machine from where we were but cigar or blimp shaped. The sighting lasted 10 minutes and it just dissolved away before our very eyes. It made no noise, and it hovered in place the whole time. The children and I saw this same craft about 3 more times this summer. At the last sighting, my neighbor was over talking with me in my backyard. The children who saw it first, pointed it out to us in the sky. We all stood and watched it for about 10 minutes and it too dissolved and disappeared. The recent sightings were June of 2014. The weather was warm and the children and I decided to camp outside on our trampoline for the night in our backyard. There were clear skies that night. The stars were brilliant as we lay on the trampoline. The children and I witnessed about 100, what appeared to be 'stars,' moving about the skies. They moved sporadically and they would get brighter and then appear to burn out and disappear after moving around the skies for several seconds. There was one after another. They would appear and carry on in the same fashion. We called them 'bobbles'. This went on about an hour and a half, in which we then decided to sleep in the house instead. This was the week before the war in Israel started with Hamas. October 2014, on the night of the blood moon, I decided to stay up all night to see the moon eclipse. At 3:30am, at the height of the eclipse, I woke my family up to come outside and see it. My daughter and I walked out our back door first onto our back deck with my son and husband following behind. As soon as my daughter and I reached the edge of the deck, we turned back towards our house to look at the moon which was above the house.

I was watching the Seahawks when my girlfriend came through my back door yelling for me to come outside. When I did she pointed up at the sky and there was 1 large red orb steadily moving across the sky from north to south. It made no noise but it sure made every hair on my body stand up. It took the light about 2 minutes to go entirely across the sky then it mace a sudden sharp right turn and slowly faded out. It was amazing! My girlfriend and I both took videos of it on our phones.

A rectangle shape appeared above Blake Island. Very large and dull grey in color. It moved slowly over the island then preceded to slowly disappear. 2 very small red orbs became visible after larger one vanished. They moved quickly darting about like sparks from a firework then they also vanished. The larger grey "vehicle" was enormous. 3 to 4 times bigger than our largest aircraft carries. The sound it made was very low in tone. I could feel it better than I could hear it. ultra low frequency?

Pasco, WA
I have lived in pasco wa my whole life. I was leaving my parents' house and I looked to the left in the night sky towards king city WA. I see a triangle shape in 5 Orange lights perfectly still. I keep looking then I look more around those lights and I see the stars which are the same color and size as they always been. I tell my gf what is that she looks and is surprised. I tell her those aren't stars because they are bigger. As I tell her this the top light shoots off to the left like a comet. The light below the top light on the left shoots off to the right. After being perfectly still it shoots off in opposite direction. As im driving im seeing this. So after 3 minutes I pull over where I can take a picture. Then the 3rd light (bottom left of triangle) shoots off to the left. I took a picture of the last 2 lights (middle right, bottom right of triangle) we have never seen anything likes this.I told my brother about it. He works at a warehouse in the direction of where I saw the 5 Orange lights (orbs) he told me he also sees strange lights ot the two.

October 5 2014 2:20 pm. I had seen a triangle shaped cloud so I thought of taking pictures of it, and once I got home I seen a fireball light off to the left! These were the two pictures that had that object in them. I cannot get over not knowing what this is, on top of a odd shaped cloud near it.... I have also heard of halo clouds but not triangle clouds around the sun along with some fireball. In the bottom picture I had barley moved and you can see how much that fire object had. On top of it there were at lest 5 people who seen the cloud including me but we did not see with our eyes that fire looking object until I got home and looked over my pictures.

My partner and I were sitting on our deck on Capitol Hill (Seattle) which has a limited view, looked up and saw a bird-like craft glide over. It looked like the Bat symbol(no joking here) but much, much larger and transparent with white sections, also appearing transparent-like; no other way to describe it. There was no sound and no other aircraft in the vicinity.

I have been seeing large, fast moving, silent, dark/transparent triangular, V-shaped objects and bright lights in the sky on clear nights since March of this year (13 sightings through October 3rd. The sightings have become more and more frequent. I am starting to see two on the same night. I have entered only my latest above because the form only accommodates one sighting. Here is my log: I reported the first one I saw this year to MUFON (case #55584). I saw it in the early morning hours of March 7. I did not send the report until April because it took me that long to work through it in my head. I had a similar sighting several years prior at my previous home ten miles to the east of my present location but did not know where to report it. I have been keeping a log of the sightings since March (dates, time, shape and direction of travel) and just found your site. Last night I saw two within 3 minute of each other and want to see if anyone else is reporting the same activity. My husband saw one in August and is convinced that they are military drones. Here is my log. Please note that each of sightings are silent, high altitude, and fast. By fast, I mean seconds to cross the sky. March 7, 2014 12:45am – 1:15 am (Original report to MUFON case # 55584) I was facing south on a clear night with no moon, looking to the southeast when a very large, high altitude vessel blocked my view of the stars. If I had not been looking where I was, I don’t think I would have seen it. It was dark, no visible lights and almost seemed transparent or as if it was reflecting the starlight, almost invisible. It was a large, triangular/boomerang shape that had rounded corners and the back was indented (not a typical straight lined triangle, but not a typical boomerang either). It was completely silent and was moving faster than the high altitude planes I see all the time. It passed just slightly to the east of me, moving south to north. July 16, 2014 10:33 pm Very fast, dark, silent, V-shape moving W to E. I could only see the leading edge of the UFO as if it was reflecting starlight. I could not see rest of it. August 3, 2014 10:10 pm Very fast, dark, silent, V-shape moving W to E. Again, I could only see the leading edge of the UFO. September 1, 2014 12:15am Very fast, dark, silent, V-shape moving S to N. I could only see the leading edge. September 3, 2014 10:54 pm 2 fast moving bright lights moving very close together coming from the SE to the NW split very wide apart in an outward motion but continued to travel at the same speed in the same direction until they were out of sight. September 4, 2014 11:30 pm A bright flash in the same SE location as the lights seen the night before (Sep 4, 2014). September 21, 2014 2:32 am Steady light traveling E to W about ¾ the speed of a shooting star. Did not change speed, intensity, or direction. September 21, 2014 10:19 pm 7 dim lights in very fast, dark, silent, V-shape moving NW to SE September 25, 2014 11:34 pm Bright lights (1 or 2) moving very fast, E to W. Did not change speed, intensity or direction. *September 30, 2014 9:34pm and 9:43pm Faint V-shapes moving slower than previous sightings. I could only see the leading edges. The first at 9:34 was N to S. The second at 9:43 was angled slightly NW to SE. October 3, 2014 11:25pm and 11:28pm V-shape with 7-9 dim lights on front edge fast moving NE to SW. I could only see the leading edges. The second at 11:28, direction was angled slightly more WNW to SE but was a straight line angled SE to NW, not v-shaped.

Washougal, WA
Hello, I am H (this is an alias) I just turned twenty-one years old, and I live in a small town in Washington, the town of Washougal... It's near Portland, Oregon; maybe twenty or so miles away. Anyhow, I have grown up in a culture of sci-if loving, alien-addicted "extraterrestrial life is out there" exposure and I, myself accept that it's quite likely that we are but one of many civilizations of advanced life in the vast universe. Lately in Washougal, the sky has been pristinely crystal-clear, and a few times, I've tried to remedy my chronic insomnia at night by going outside, in the chilly October air. On October 3, at around 4:14 a.m, I was looking up at the stars when I noticed something unusual, in the southernmost part of the sky. As I focused on it with my eyes, I could see that it was roughly cross-shaped - but instead of being totally straight, the arms of the cross angled downward in an arch, and they emitted a blinding light. During some 'bursts' of light, I looked away, to avoid the bright light. There was a solid, oval-shaped ring around the cross, which would occasionally strobe rapidly with every color in the rainbow... It was an astounding and mind-boggling display. I could not make sense of it, if it truly was an earthly aircraft. I watched this object for well over an hour, and it stayed -hovering- in the same general vicinity... A part of the sky in-between two massive Douglas Firs, which were clearly visible to me, well over two miles away. I suspect -with that point of reference- that the cross-shaped object was about three-to-five miles away... It was hovering unsteadily (it seemed to struggle at times, sinking as though it was losing power; and then darting upwards, unexpectedly - going speeds that could not possibly be achieved with our current technology). It wobbled around unsteadily in the same vicinity for an hour and a half, before it began to gradually ascend up, like a rocket, except without any atmospheric resistance... It just cut right through - the object shot straight up into the sky. It's light-trail was so bright, large liquid-like streaks trailed behind the object, like nothing I'd ever seen before. That's when I noticed that the bright light seemed to move much like a fluid, acting with many properties of water. As the object rose higher and higher up into the atmosphere, it's silhouette very rapidly disappeared... It was gone at this point. When I entered my house, it was 5:52 am, and I held an uneasiness in my stomache. I had always considered ETs to be out there, but experiencing an actual UFO in the sky, so near you... it changed the way I feel about a lot of things. I understand the persistence and perseverance of the UFO community after my experience. I'd like to tell family and friends, but I know that I'll be judged harshly for it. It's awful, how so many ignorant people laugh believers off the stage. At the very least, I'm happy to be able to share my first experience with an identified flying object.

Driving home after work (3pm-ish), I witnessed an intense white multi-colored light which seemed to break apart or spatter as it traveled south-east above Olympia. The bright white object seemed to shed smaller colored pieces of the main object as it streaked across the sky. This event was witnessed by myself and at least 3 other drivers, as we all pulled off the road due to lack of visibility from the blinding light. No contact was made with the other witnesses.

My girlfriend and I were standing on our back patio watching a couple of planes go over and as it passed going north we noticed a flash of light in the sky and a egg shaped craft follow the airliner north then as the other plane passed the same thing happened then there was two more just alike all moving in a different direction, north, south, east, and west. The reason we've been looking up is lately here in Washington every night it seems you can see something different. I wonder what they are and what the bright flash of light is before they appear (a star gate maybe?) Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
