Mercer Island, WA
Around 5:30 am as I was laying in bed I felt something like a presence. Upon looking directly in front of me I noticed something hovering like a cloud once I looked forward there was a large shadow that came from overhead very silent in front of my window and patio. It moved on stealth creating a strange silence and timing all lighting in the area. When I tried to see even closer it taken my my window blind completely black as where I peeked it taken off. I am a bit confused on why it choose to stop or hover near my home so low We live in a top floor unit with children. Is this something we should be concerned about

I was entering i90 off of the Evergreen exit heading west and looked up in the sky and saw a long white trailheahind a freefalling object. There was no fire ball that seemed to be leading the tail but the tail was sparse through its middle as if the object was letting smoke off from its front and sides as if splitting the tail down the middle to join at the end of the tail again. It was falling at a very sharp fast moving diagonal angle think of 11 o clock and 5 o clock on a clock with hands, Low and behold, out of absolutly no where, a second object appeared to be falling behind it at a higher elevation, same angle, same description as the first tail. Both were very slim shaped comet tails. The direction the were moving was left to right, they seemed to be heading in a NW direction, for they were moving farther and farther away from me as I got further west on the freeway. Eventually they both fell below the horizon line and became unvisible due to low laying cloud coverage. In 6 minutes both objects fell from half way up in the sky to below the horizon line. Both moved at the same speed, falling at the same and same angle. I know it was 6 minutes because as soon as I saw them I called crime check worried that it was space junk comming back after plumetting from space and could hurt someone, that call was 6 minutes, durating from 4:12pm to 4:18 pm. It was completly day out side and the color of the trails behind the objects was pure white, the objects causing the tails must have been smal in size, as I could not make a shape to either one. Wondering if there is anyone else who may have been driving East or West on i90 and saw it also? I imagine if you were west of the tails they would move right to left. Im checking the object landed box because the objects had to have landed somewhere, I believe somwhere North West of Spokane, I did not actually see a landing. There was a helicopter in the sky at the time, not chasing the objects or even anywhere near them, it was merely flying a straight line below the horizon heading in the direction of felts field in Spokane Valley, the objects were in the Westward sky well beyond the cities of Spokane and Spokane Valley possibly closer to Cheney than to Spokane. I spoke to a man who returned my missed call who suggested I come to the site to leave a report there after. I hope that there may be others who saw it from a closer northwest position, I am really perplexed and curious about what the object could have been. Thank you

Looking out my window to the west overhead I look up and see what looks to be an aircraft flying towards the Pacific Ocean, I live right next to the seatac airport and as such know the flight patterns of the planes. To expand the last time a plane flied to the west was when the gentleman stole the aircraft 5 years ago from SeaTac. So I'm viewing this aircraft saying to myself what is he doing, when I get a good look at the aircraft and realize it is not a plane, or anything that I've ever seen for that matter. The aircraft was a golden orb, ovalish and smooth, and was pulsating a deep gold color. It was about 60 to 80 ft in length and had a spike or rudder-like Fin or metal about 20 or 30 ft in length hanging down. The aircraft maintained the speed of a civilian aircraft until it was making its way towards the horizon, upon hitting the horizon The aircraft seem to stop in the distance. This is when it got really weird and I feel very small beholding this. The aircraft started glowing red and burst into red light, like a laser show on the horizon. It's hard to describe what I saw, but it looked like a small star but bright red, Vermillion in color, like a Megatron or pulsar. I've always believed in UFOs but had never seen anything to confirm my beliefs until last night. I am reporting to find out if anybody else saw what I saw last night. I shouted to the other household residence to come see what I was seeing, but they were too short to see over the house next door so we ran to the back porch and by the time that we were out there the lights and all signs were gone.

Driving home on old Snohomish To Monroe hwy, observed two red orb glowing intensely, 1 at 70 deg and 1 at 40 deg. Been driving this route for twenty years never, saw them before. Thought it might new radio or cell phone tower. It disappeared going east after 20-30 sec. By the time I got around corner to take video it was gone. 3:00 am Dec 30 2022

Federal Way, WA
As I was driving on the highway, a bright green light in the sky catches my eye. It was fluorescent green in the way that a green light at a green “go” light is. The green light then symmetrically splits into (I would guesstimate) 8 different lights and then disappears. This all happened within a matter of seconds. The sky was completely clear of anything accept for this.

We were driving home on Bruce Rd, and I looked over towards my husband who was driving and saw out the truck window 3 very reflective objects in the sky. I said "what the...." and my husband turned and looked. He saw them as well. We kept driving and watched them until we were parallel with the objects and then all 3 just disappeared. They were lined up one on top of Nother with clear space between them. It was a very sunny out. They were the most reflective thing I have ever seen. I checked flight tracker and there were no aircraft around our location.

Starting abeam Idaho Falls, ID thru Moses Lake, WA, WA
Third sighting I'm reporting. Very similar in type and duration to my second report. The third sighting was on UAL Flt 1910/Dec 08, 2022, DEN – YVR (Vancouver, BC). The general description of the encounter I had on the flight into EUG remains the same, except for this time there were between one to three light sources, either one at a time, two at a time, or three at a time. This sighting lasted a good 50 minutes, starting in Eastern Idaho and lasting all the way to the top of descent into YVR (near Moses Lake, WA). The relative position of the light sources were all the same as compared to the background stars/planets (which included what I believe was Saturn – though I didn’t confirm it at the time), that was ~35 degrees above the western horizon. The light sources were ~25 degrees above the horizon (below and to the right of what I think was Saturn). I queried ATC about this sighting, and his response was that there had been other reports of the same type of things over the previous week or so. ATC was as baffled about these lights as we were. The ATC controller said that there wasn't any military activity going on over the WA coast. The controller I was in contact with mentioned that one of his supervisors had a video, but he didn’t specify what was on the video or how it was obtained. In both of the latter two sightings it seemed as if we never travelled any closer to the light source’s location, as we had travelled a good 300 miles (Nov 09 Flt) to 500 miles (Dec 08 Flt) from the time of first sighting. The light’s source must have been well off the Oregon/Washington coast in each case. If that's true, at their source, the lights must be extremely bright - brighter than any landing light I’ve ever seen. The lights must be at an extremely high altitude as well, based on our relative distance to them and the curvature of the Earth. Also, the speed must be numerous times what an airliner or business jet could fly, and likely faster than any fighter travelling at Mach. This third sighting was particularly compelling, as the initial sighting appeared to (at first) be the ISS travelling from the WNW to the ESE. It travelled for ~two degrees before disappearing. I had seen the ISS just the night before (Dec 07, 2022) when having dinner at a friend’s house in Aurora, CO. That initial appearance caught my attention and prompted me to continue to scan the area for further sightings. Finally, one of the last sightings on this flight was of three lights arranged in a tilted equilateral triangle, with the top left light apexed towards Saturn. The top left light source moved slightly, and a light beam was clearly evident, that had the appearance of a flashlight that was being diffused by water vapor in the atmosphere. The beam was initially pointed in roughly our direction, but slightly to our left, then panned further to our left so it was pointing towards a southerly direction. I don’t mean to imply that the light was specifically directed toward us, just that it was initially pointing in roughly our direction.

I live at the Avalon bay communities on the second floor my living room window faces, the west. About 831 I walked to my window to look outside. When I looked to my left, I noticed the brightest light I ever seen in my life. different from any EV light, airplane light or any star or any man-made light. It was 15 feet above overLake emergency clinic silently, hovering and with the blink of the eye. It jetted off to the west faster than anything ever seen in my life , with not even a SOUND!! it’s a fuzzy very, very, very bright and VERY VERY SMART!

My mother is convinced there are ufo’s outside of her apartments. She told me and I went to look for them but did not see them that night. She has been sending me pictures and there are lights in the sky in formation that looks about 800 to 1000 feet from the ground. She told me they are now sending her pictures in her photo album on her phone I believe. I thought she might be loosing her mind until I saw the pictures. In my opinion they are definitely a saucer shaped craft that is glowing in the sky. I believe her now.

While an operating Horizon Airline MSO-SEA my captain and I overheard the United flight ahead of us reporting UFO activity ahead to the west. Within a minute or two we also began seeing 1 and sometimes up to 3 lights. Varying and changing in brightness and moving rapidly near each other. We were at FL380 and it appeared to be at least FL600 perhaps.
