Edmonds/Shoreline, WA
At about 22:15 at night, on Saturday, September 27, 2014, my daughter looked up in the sky while she was getting into our car. Not high enough to be an airplane, but almost like at the height a model airplane would fly. 7 or 8 rounded rectangular shaped objects, with an orange glowing light at their center, were flying in a single line but staggered, formation. The horizontal flight path was going north to south, from the very southernmost and easternmost part of Edmonds southbound—southbound along Shoreline, just west of Interstate 5—through Shoreline. They were lit up with a big orange glow in the center. We were thinking that maybe they were a cluster of drones or lanterns. However, have never seen either in person so really unable to compare to anything. They didn’t make any distinguishing types of noises—like an airplane or helicopter… or any loud noise for that matter. The noise I did hear, was a very soft, hum/whistle that maybe a sophisticated, high tech, model airplane--engineered specifically for low noise. We lost sight of them as they headed down past Shoreline. By the time we called out a houseguest and my son to come witness these items, only two were visible for them to see as they were above Shoreline (central) along and above the I-5 corridor. This is most likely what I saw--at night--but the shape of it is how it is depicted in this photo:http://www.scientificamerican.com/sciam/cache/file/AFAEED3C-749A-42C1-8E796C8B74E8C45B_article.jpg?8BC4B

1 large bright red fireball orb with what appeared to have a flame tail spanning slowly for several miles across the entire horizon over the island from the direction of the Navy base towards the windjammer park before it just disappeared.

East Wenatchee, WA
This summer our family noticed 2 unusual red dots at night on the southwestern horizon. They were parallel and in a fixed position. Tonight at about 8:00 p.m. we noticed an object on the western but slightly more northern position along the horizon looking from east wenatchee towards highway 2. The object is fixed and visible with the naked eye. It is blinking red, green, blue, yellow and orange and resembles the light emitted from a welder regarding intensity. We viewed it through both binocs and our telescope and we're able to observe its triangular shape. It looked like Christmas tree lights hanging out in mid-air. Did not appear to move which is highly unusual for any object in the sky, aside from stars of course, and it appeared to be well within our atmosphere. It lasted until about 10:15 p.m.. As our family was observing it, my wife said that she also observed something last year in the middle of the night, but was too frightened to talk abou! t it at the time. She said that she was awakened by a powerful low frequency humming sound directly over the top of our house. It lasted about 8-10 seconds then just disappeared. She said it was definitely not a plane.

Edgewood, WA
I was cleaning up in my detached garage. I looked out the window and saw several brilliant red lights moving from North to South. The lights were much brighter than the airliner lights on planes coming into Sea Tac airport. There were a few airliners in the same airspace so I could compare. I left the garage, watching the lights; and as I got a larger view, I could see it was a parade of these things as far as I could see from North to south. I went to the back door of my house and called out my wife. We both stood on our back deck watching this long parade pass by. We looked through 10X binoculars and both agreed there was no sign of an aircraft we could identify. DESCRIPTION: Bright red orbs emitting continuous mildly pulsating light. A well defined pale pinkish or white cylindrical shape, which did not pulsate, and was attached beneath the orb. On some of them the cylindrical shape was moving around, like a camera lens on a swivel mount. There was no sound. The "flock" of orbs moved similar to the parade of crows that flies North to South or South to North here--random, linear, fluid. These things had to be moving several hundred mph because it did not take them long to make the journey across the airspace. The sky was clear. Altitude was difficult to tell but had to be over 4000 ft. I went to get a video camera but the last of them disappeared behind the trees and did not emerge again. We have not seen or heard anything on the news about them--which is wierd.

Let my dogs out, looked at the North end of town and saw a large bright object being orbited by a slowly moving white orb. Disappeared after about 45 seconds.

My son and i were playing out side and decided to lay down on our backs and look at the sky changing to night, and as wee did we observed a very large bright lightmoving north to south and then just blink out. It was huge so to be seen at least 30 thousand feet up.

Pullman, WA
We stopped and looked up and saw what looked like a circle of light that consisted of many small individual lights (perhaps 8). It seemed as if one or mre of the lights was of different color & blinking sporadically. Trailing this main group of tightly grouped lights were approx 5-10 small lights to the south that seemed to be following the main group. I was stopped in my vehicle with the window rolled down and asked several people that were still walking out of the stadium what they thought it was, and none of us had seen anything like it. There were 40,000+ people at the game. Many of them had to have seen the same thing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Many of us leaving Martin stadium were standing in the street looking up trying to figure out what it was. The trailing lights were bobbing about and moving quickly like fireflies, but kept trailing the other lights. This report was first posted on September 25, 2014, with a state designation of West Virginia. However, the correct state, of course, is Washington State, the home of the WSU "Cougars." PD

Bothell, WA
At about 22:45 in Bothell, WA, I was on my back deck and saw numerous objects (I believe 6) fly overhead. They had no lights but were clearly visible I'm assuming due to the city lights below. They looked silverish-gray but that is probably the city light reflecting off them. They were in a "V" formation. One in front, two directly behind the first, and 3 behind the two. The row with three, the one on the far right was off centered however. Appeared to be pulling away from the others but I can't be sure as I only saw the objects for a few seconds before they went over the tree line. There was no sound at all. I cannot give an exact altitude but I'm guessing 1000-2000 feet due to the speed across the sky. Basically west to East. If they were at 10,000 feet they would have been the size of jumbo jets and going at least mach 4 or 5 so my assumption is much lower altitude. Again, no sound at all which is not possible if it was a low-flying (or high flying) formation of jets. I cannot guarantee they were separate objects as it's a pitch black night sky, but it appeared they were, as one was out of formation. My first thought was maybe a big drone but the speed was too fast and the off-centeredness does not make sense. I'm sure others saw what I saw too as it's a populated area. Very strange and never seen anything like it. ((CORRECTION FROM WITNESS)) Sorry it was 22:45 (10:45 pm)...give or take 10 mins ((END CORRECTION)) ((2ND CORRECTION FROM WITNESS)) Sorry it was 9/20. A few hours before I sent the email. I live by an International airport and within 25 miles of two Boeing airports so I see a lot of aircraft flying around. Also seen Blue Angels many of times and it did look like an Angel formation, very close together. But if what I saw was military aircraft, judging by the size they would have been around 10,000 feet, flying very fast and there would have been sound. Was completely silent. ((END CORRECTION)) We suspect that report is a hoax. Date is flawed, and source has failed to respond to our e-mailed messages. We have changed the date. PD

Then one craft appeared to go under the other one and then one started to go to the north, the other one going 330* west. Then one flew almost directly over us, and it appeared to have lights in an isosceles triangle shape. It had no sound but they were pretty close to us. Strange.

I was walking my dog as I most nights from about 8:30 to 9 pm. I live near SeaTac airport (under a flight path) so I am familiar with what aircraft look like landing and higher up in the sky and with normal flight traffic/patterns. I was walking east and notice an unusual light in the sky towards the northern horizon moving south. The light was changed from orange to red slowly then back, not flashing from one color to the other. If finally disappeared into some clouds. In the duration of the sighting, spanned about 2/3 of the sky. Immediately I know it was unusual and thought it was a helicopter. I when the landing planes had passed I expected to hear helicopter noise, but it was quiet. I took some video with my phone and have the video that I can share with you, simply ask.

I had allot going on in my life, in need of guidance through prayer. I walked down the rd to the gully. Carefully I walk the path until I come the creek. I knelt, gave thanks and explained my situation. I then ask if my voice was being heard. Thats when one after another 3 beams of white light passed over me. They did not travel in the same position, rather parallel to each other.They were above the lower clouds and ginormous. initially entering from the SW heading NE. The length is difficult to say but they each had to be miles long. My guess is the diameter of said light was 2-5 hundred feet across Excited I speak what I had to say(cannot release info on what was said) once again Givin thanks. It was only a matter of minutes since the initial 3 light beams and here I am asking if they would give me direction. asking for an A/B senerio. A was 1 more beam or B meant 2. Now comes a fourth, this time from the SE heading NW crossing where the first three passed over. I didn't tell anyone until it became necessary. I wrote NASA, and DOD. Neither replied. Maybe it has to do with my 2012 awakening? I would go in further in detail but I won't. I will leave u with this key piece of information "communication is only what we're taught, not what we learn?"

Snohomish, WA
It was a sunny day around four o'clock. I was crossing the street to enter my vehicle, when I looked up and saw a hovering fireball about 250 feet in the air. From my perspective, it appeared to be as large as a penny, and simply burned in one spot for about fifteen minutes. It didn't move, or burn out. The color was a reddish orange, like embers in a fire. At that point, I started the car and left. There were no clouds in the sky, the street was empty, and everything was quiet. There was no explanation for what it could be, as directional mathematics would have placed it over the outskirts of town. If the object was not the Sun, we have no idea what it could have been. We have received no other reports of the alleged sighting. PD

Centralia, WA
Unidentified flying object sighting: At approximately 22:20 on September 14, 2014, I stepped out the door of my computer room, which faces the west, in order to see if I could see any Northern Lights. I did not see them. A small group of colored moving lights caught my eye. It was approximately due west of my house in Centralia and just above the horizon, which in this case is a hill known as Cooks Hill. The lights were just above the hill, probably at around 15 – 20 degrees elevation from a true level horizon. The light was bobbing around in one area and not moving in any one direction. I watched for about five minutes and then went to get my binoculars. With the binoculars, it was more clearly about four lights. They were positioned with a green light at the top, then perhaps two red lights in the middle, and another green light at the bottom. There was also the typical yellow light amongst them but it was hard to hold the binoculars steady so that there was some jiggling of the object. The small area covered by the lights would be about the size of the full moon. The yellow, red and green lights, in size and brightness, were much the same as airplane lights in size and brilliance. But if they were from an airplane it was not going anywhere. I watched for about ten minutes, total, and the small group of lights just bobbed around, up and down, side to side, much as a fishing bobber that was being dangled above the water but not in it. I could hear no sounds of an aircraft. When I went to turn on my computer at 22:29, in those few seconds, the object(s) was gone. It could possibly have been a helicopter but the prolonged bobbing around motion in the same spot does not seem like a practical explanation. The area over and beyond Cook’s Hill is mostly wooded but with homes along the rural Cook’s Hill Road. When I last looked at the area of the sighting, at 23:00, they had not reappeared.

North polar orbit. Just past zenith grew in brightness to about 10 times station brightness, moving as a typical satellite, until much more bright than any satellite could possibly get from reflected sunlight, unless extremely large, i.e. 1/2 mile in size @ 300 miles agl. http://heavens-above.com/IridiumFlares.aspx?lat=47.5223&lng=-120.4698&loc=Cashmere&alt=241&tz=PST Sighting of Iridium #70 at 20:45 hrs..

My son-in-law and I along with his two very young children were on the back deck of my home looking at stars before the children went to bed. Suddenly, to the west, a circular light appeared, moved in a northerly direction for about 15 seconds, and disappeared. The light moved at a phenomenal rate of speed, much faster than any jet, even military, which I have ever seen. In all fairness, I will admit that there is an Air Force base to the west of us, but the light did not move all the way across the sky, just suddenly appearing and disappearing. It did not fall from the sky light like a meteorite. There was no sound associated with the event. My son-in-law also saw the light and commented on the incredible rate of speed of the vessel.

At first thought I was just looking at a extreamly close up satilight… It was way to big, the colors were light orange/red/bright white and was I cant even explain like twinkling... The glow went jetting a little one one stopped for 15-20seconds than back... Right before as if I was watching somthing fall from sky but the complete opisite it went shooting upward so fast than nothing... It was gone. I"ve always said I knew there was 'ufo' out there, just not all the bull weirdo exagerated stuff... But to see it... I feel like I should be comitted. I have tried to explain it to myself as something military... A satalight... Comet... It was what it was an unidentified flying object.

Western evening sky, time is approximate but around 9:30. Initially it looked like a satellite slowly moving downward toward the horizon. After about 4-5 seconds, it transformed shape into an enormous green and blue diamond that completely dwarfed the original shape. Held this shape and position for 2-3 seconds then re-shaped itself again into a small “star” shape and changed direction towards the north and shot off leaving a trail behind like a shooting star.

Uniform neon blue ellipsoid fell abruptly out of sky to the northwest before disappearing behind trees. Color most closely resembles xenon headlights. The object fell at a uniformly high speed without streaking or flashing. No sounds were heard.
