Olympia, WA
We were driving on 101 heading north west of Olympia, when my husband and I saw what appeared to be a meteor or shooting star, but none like I've seen before. This was a bright green ball of light with tail shooting across sky, and then disappeared in the night sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Port Townsend, WA
I was leaving Fort Warden front gate and turned right in my car. My husband was about ten seconds behind me and turned left in his pickup. I was just at the first stop sign and began driving and looked up to my left with my window open, and saw what I initially thought was a firework or low flare that was blue, but as it moved over the tree tops it was glowing blue white with no sound as my window was open, and it was not falling but went down behind the trees in front of me towards Chinese Gardens/North Beach area. My husband saw it just before me, as he turned left on the same road and as he turned onto the small road with his large pickup he ended up on the side of the road in the ditch.. When he started up the ditch he was looking directly up at a blue white disc with a circle around it but the center was the blue energy type light and there was no sound as it passed over him. It was at the same height over the trees and he didn't even think it was anyth! ing else but some type of flying craft but nothing he had ever seen before. About the same time 8:20 our daughter who was in Port Angeles was on a walk and she saw a bluish white light fly across the sky over the water but it went out of her sight as it went down behind the trees at Crown Park. She said she didn't know what it was, but it wasn't a jet or a plane or a helicopter and it was too close to be a star and that it was silent.

Chehalis, WA
My son and I were amazed to see a orb of light come from nowhere to the middle of the dark sky, we were traveling home from my sons football game headed north on I-5 as the object appeared at the same time almost we both said, "Did you see that?" as we watched the object float across the sky then zip from east to west across the sky to finally disappear as quick as It first was seen.. Trying to use logic I thought it was a comet as it was a massive light, but it was able to almost control its movements, it was what any person who watched the sky would die to see, it was amazing and a once in a lifetime object that will never be forgotten!

Edmonds, WA
Bright green orb, very large shooting downward at extremely fast speed. Movement, trajectory, all how I would think a fireball would travel without the fire. It disappeared behind trees & I expected an explosion when it hit the ground but nothing. It was larger than what I think a meteor would be but that's my best guess. Early evening but sky quite bright. Possible meteor?? PD

Prosser, WA
On Friday evening, September 12th, at 8:19 pm, I saw a very bright light that appeared as a burning object falling out of the sky. I live in Prosser, Washington, and I was facing approximately 290deg azimuth or a little North of due West. It lasted about 5 seconds and from my viewpoint it appeared to moving vertically directly towards the ground. It was big enough and slow enough that I definitely had the impression it would impact the ground and I would see an impact flash. However it either appeared to burnout before impact or traveled below my horizon which is the Cascade Range (approx 75 miles away), though it appeared closer than that to me. More like 40 to 50 miles away. If I had to describe its appearance, I would say it looked like the sparkling white/gold spark remnants of a very large fireworks shell as it drifts to the ground after exploding if you were sitting in the immediate vicinity of the launch area. The speed was similar to that type of occurrence as well. To be clear though, there was no explosion, noise or flash preceding its appearance. Just the appearance of a sparkling trail of burning material that started very high in the horizon and came straight down. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness. PD

Sequim, WA
I was looking at the stars outside before i went to bed, like i usually do. I looked towards the mountains behind my house and i seen about 7 multi colored lights, "green" being the most prominent" outlining a giant triangle. I would say its altitude would be about 3000 ft and it was heading N-NNE. As it flew over above i started to hear jet engines in the distance and it sounded like something was moving fast towards the direction of the Craft. I am familiar with aircraft this was not a 747.

Olympia, WA
The object was at such a distance that it was difficult to determine the shape. The closest we could determine was a possible tear-drop shape. It was moving from West to East in the Southern sky. The object was being trailed by a short contrail which remained the same length unlike a true contrail. The object appeared to be a light gray color, but again it was at such a great distance it was hard to be certain.

At 13:00 09.07.15 Sunday, I looked up into the southern sky off of my patio and saw am apparent falling object in the sky with two smoke trails coming from behind it. I took several photos of the unknown object and then video taped the object I witnessed seemingly falling from the sky. The duration of the event was about 25 seconds at most. The object appeared to be dark in color and smoking as though on fire and was as bright as the moon during the day on a full moon. There was no sound at all during this sighting. As my vide linked here below demonstrates, the object fell behind trees and did not appear to break apart - it did appear very large and as though it was an oval mass without distinction in shape or form. I have never seen a thing like this. Here is my video link - please don't post my video anyplace to the net as I have newsmedia interested in paying to use it and KOMO TV NEWS in Seattle last night already used my video footage - they paid for its use and it was featured on the 11pm news last night.

We were setting outback of our house looking at stars when we seen three different lights one south, one east, and one north east all three blinking the colors of green, blue, and red the lights were still in the sky only moving a little out from behind the tree line then moving back we have seen these same lights over a two week period. Now also earlier that evening there was a series of strange booms at first we thought they were fireworks but they kept getting louder they were just the sound no flashes of light or anything the booms lasted about 5 minutes they began when the first flashing light appeared around 10:00 pm and also there has been strange streaks of white light that appears just above the tree line and sometimes below all this occurring when the lights appear Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Walla Walla, WA
So we were standing in our back yard my mother and brother point to what they thought was a meteor.. The object began to get closer and closer and we realized it was not a meteor. As the object came right over our home there was nooooo sound and it had four corners with lights underneath the craft. It was moving very quickly!! What I didn't understand is when it was flying over is it wasn't bright as it was when it was in the distance!!!

Renton (east of; towards the Cascades, WA
Large glowing light seen at sunrise hovering in the sky for around 1 hour without moving. Smaller light to the south and just below the larger light. The smaller light either split into two or another light originated from the smaller light and flew vertically downward then disappeared. Around 7 a.m. both lights just disappeared. I took pictures on my phone and when you zoom in you most definitely can see the object shape and three very distinct lights on the larger of the two. The lights appeared to be colorful; at least yellow and red or pink can't really tell. A passenger plane was also flying toward the trajectory of the large light but turned around and headed back in the direction it came before getting too close to the object.

Deer Park, WA
strategically placed lights in a grid formation lights have been present surrounding property in stevens county for at least the last 5 days visible only at night . lights flicker colors green blue red orange and move in slight abrupt movements. seems like being investigated by a military helicopter and what looks like a UAV. We spoke with the witness via telephone, and explored with him whether the objects might have been "twinkling" stars. He insisted that they were not, and cited his military background as an observer.

To my pleasant surprise, just two months since my first UFO sighting over Lake Union in Seattle, I witnessed four unusual light shapes again tonight - very close to the same location they made their appearance in July. What caught my eye this evening were 4 bright lights slightly north east of the Space Needle from my vantage point where I was gazing south toward the Space Needle. Each object appeared triangular shaped with lights at each point. However, it seemed there was a light in the center of each as well. They struck me initially as probably being lanterns, though unusually shaped if in fact lanterns. As I kept my eye on them they did not seem to characterize lanterns floating through the air due to their tight triangular formation while moving upward then sideways in perfect synchronicity. One object was positioned to the left of the other three in their triangular formation. The object on the left from my view faded within approximately 20 seconds after I first spotted them all. I snapped a 26 second video, then two photos of the remaining three objects from my iPhone while standing on my front deck then lost view as they moved further east and were hidden behind a neighboring building. I ran through my house and up my dock to zoom in on them once again. I was able to snap two more photos, though they did not appear clearly in the brighter light from this angle. They seemed to turn southward and disappeared within about 20 more seconds from my new viewing spot. Following their disappearance there was a single helicopter hovering over the middle of Lake Union facing the direction these objects had been seen. I will include the video clip and the original two photos that are the most clear I was able to capture. (( Second similar sighting by the same witness over Lake Union. We provide below a link to the first sighting she reported, which was witnessed simultaneously by her, her son, and at least one other adult witness. All witnesses were at different locations. http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/111/S111000.html Report from witness's son: http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/111/S111296.html Report from third witness, and aviation specialist: http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/111/S111115.html

Basin City (2-4 miles west of), WA
Clear night, many stars visible, moon was close and bright but only 90 percent full. What I thought was a bright and low satellite (bright solid white light, no blinking) was traveling (to the west of my position) steadily from the north, southeast bound. I observed it for about 3 seconds (it covered 10 horizontal degrees in that time) when a much dimmer (further away looking and blue tint) object came from approximately 5-7 lateral degrees above the bright object (or above and to the west of it, from my vantage point) and changed course, following the bright objects path. The lesser object stayed about 15-20 horizontal degrees behind the bright object when the lesser object CLEARLY changed course to follow, but the bright object gained another 10 degrees between the two (either the bright object sped up or the lesser object slowed but it seemed like the former). They traveled another 20 lateral degrees south, towards the moon (just a reference point), an! d I noticed a third object (looking exactly like the lesser object) dropped down from approximately 10 lateral degrees above the bright object (which then began to travel more southeast than south) and it CLEARLY changed course to follow the bright object. The two lesser objects were close together at this point (2-5 lateral degrees between the two), obviously chasing the bright object, and all three covered about 10-15 lateral degrees before the bright object just faded out (like a fast dimming off) and the two lesser objects separated about 5 lateral degrees and, together, turned more east but still heading south until they got too far for me to see. All three objects covered 5-10 horizontal degrees at a given time. NO blinking lights at any point from any of these objects. I believe this was low earth orbit, not in the atmosphere. At about 22:50, the same night (sept. 4), .25 miles west of SR-17, on Merion Rd., I was looking at Ursa Major when another object that looked like the lesser objects from earlier, dropped down 10-15 degrees in about 3-5 seconds, steadily, and slowly stopped and began to blink a red light. It dropped from the furthest (from the handle) east most, top star of the “pot”, but barely on the inside of it, below the lowest and furthest star in the “pot”, stopped, began blinking the red light, lightly, and just behaved like a plane at this point, heading west slowly. It took about 20 seconds for it to travel west, below ursa major, and then appeared to stay in that vicinity. I left after about 5 minutes of keeping an eye on it but it got dimmer and dimmer so it may have been getting further from me. I was facing northwest of my position on Merion Rd. There are always military craft out in that area, day and night, and I have come to the conclusion that the only options, of what these were, are either military and extra terrestrial, or just extraterrestrial. Unless, of course, there are private industry high altitude to space fights and chases going on. Very strange and active night. I have NEVER had such solid clarification of objects I see in the sky (that aren’t regular aircraft) being under immediate intelligent control. Now I know what it feels like to have actually seen something surreal in the sky.

While getting off the freeway heading towards the capitol building, my boyfriend and I noticed 9 or 10 orange/red circles of light floating in the sky to the left of the capitol dome. The balls hovered without any sound but moved smoothly in several different formations. At first, they were in no particular order, but seemed to rotate and move as one in a fluid fashion, some moving faster than others. Then they paired up, one out of the two descended while the other ascended. Then they reversed direction. The final formation I saw were the pairs moving diagonally, but with the set of two still aligned in a straight line. The lights went behind some trees and when we searched for them again we didn't see them. After about 10 minutes of driving around I saw a single light next to the dome of the Capitol building. We passed another tree and then it had disappeared again. Both of us have never seen any sort of aircraft move so fluidly and silently. The lights were much larger then any plane lights and moved in an impossible pattern. I have no idea what it could have been but it was certainly "unidentified".

Wenatchee, WA
Sept 4, at 8:50pm I received a call from a friend who was watching 4 distinct objects in the sky, with red, white & green lights blinking around them, & she wanted to know if i could see them. I have had several sightings in our area in the last 6 months. I grabbed my binoculars and went outside to look. To the south I could see the mountains, (we call the Clockum, & Mission Ridge) and above that was a cloud layer, and above the cloud layer in the blackened sky were flashing red, white and green lights, that were flashing in what appeared to be a circular motion. I could see them flash but they would disappear and reappear as if they were going around something. I could see 4 different areas in the sky where these lights were flashing in this way. They stayed stationary for at least 20 minutes, then one started moving southwest and finally disappeared from my view. The others stayed fairly stationary. I contacted a third friend and told him to look. He too has seen a UFO on the same nights as I have, and even got video of one. He looked in the sky, and could see them, he also saw a blue light in the sky. He took a picture and sent it to me. He has since blown up the images on his computers. I then looked over towards the southwest and could see an orange orb stationary over the mountain top. I could see an orange and red glowing object thru my binoculars, it was also quite large without binoculars, as I pulled the binoculars down to look with the naked eye, then looked thru the binoculars again it was gone. I looked back over to where the flashing red and white lights were, and they too were gone. So crazy. This is happening often here. My 4 dogs were highly sensitive while outside, barking a lot. We live in a secluded area, mountainside.

Spotted a dark blue/gray triangle shaped craft crossing over skylight just above the low clouds. Anticipated some kind of jet engine noise but there was none and no sonic boom. Traveling north to south at very high speed, thus the short observation time.

Mountlake Terrace, WA
We witnessed two spherical objects in the sky. There were two hawks trying to scare them away, but gave up. One sphere was very tiny compared to the hawk, and appeared to be just a black dot moving amidst the clouds. The second sphere came about 10 min later, appeared to be metallic and reflective of light. It was close enough to see it was completely round and was not a balloon with string.

Bellingham, WA
Orange light in the South/East, me and my friend were out smoking on the porch. The light was very consistent color and bright, like it could have been a flare. I saw it through binoculars and I couldn't discern any shape. After it got a ways into the sky it changed directions, either heading towards or away from us. It dimmed quickly, brightened, dimmed again, brightened, then disappeared. Very little to no wind, and I confirmed this by watching the clouds move in relation to the few visible stars. My roommate said that he saw this exact object earlier in August, but I don't know when.

I was sitting out in my side yard (which is on the west side of house). I lit up my cigarette and just happen to look up to the west and this neon green/blue light fell from the sky, stopped half way and went directly north in a matter of seconds. It was fast really fast. I could hear that the power lines were buzzing loud! Prior to the light incident my husband also said he could hear a rumble sound. He thought possible thunder. My daughter says that once the green/blue light went poof she noticed off to the north that the sky lite up really bright for a second or so...
