Bellingham, WA
Driving to work and saw a burgundy colored spherical floating object. It was about 100 yards up, 8 feet in diameter and stationary. Stopped to take a closer look at nearby parking lot. Looked for wires or advertising, there was none. Watched it for about 2 minutes, and went to work. It was gone later that day.

After a while the orb seeming lost some lumenessence and they then appeared to have inner structure. This was only noticeable after they moved away, and until they vanished from sight. Almost instantaneously, another orb rose straight up and the same event happened again.

Wife and I were driving to appointment at 10:00 am, when she noticed a rectangle object just floating in the sky (looked white and silver). After few minutes it started to travel north west very slowly getting faster and faster. Seen all black helicopter chasing it. The object stopped suddenly letting the blacked out helicopter get somewhat close, then took off so fast it was instantly gone.

I was driving home from an appointment in Gig Harbor with my mother when we both noticed, almost out of nowhere, a large matte black, M-shaped/Crab-shaped object in the sky. The craft looked like something out of Battlestar Galactica or kind of like a large insect hovering barely above the buildings that we were heading towards. We both thought it was a plane until I realized there was absolutely no noise and it was at a very strange angle for something in the air. The craft moved back and fourth from left-right a few times. I don’t remember what happened after that, can't recall if it flew away, disappeared or anything at all really. I don’t even remember the rest of that day..or the following few days. It’s a struggle to pull the memory of what I saw that day and exactly when and where this took place but both me and my 40 year old mother witnessed this and we both had never seen anything like it before. My mom commented saying that maybe it was a plane flying at a really weird angle, but again; the craft was not flying. It was hovering in some sort of a dance with itself. This was the first of the 4 UFOs I have witnessed in the past 9 days, I have always believed in UFOs and Alien existence but I have never been so confident in saying that I have seen things that prove its all real. I do live within a reasonable distance from Joint Base Lewis McCord. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Centralia, WA
Monday June 2nd, 02:04 in the morning, in Centralia, Washington. The weather conditions were clear at this time. I was standing on the front porch of my house, which faces to the North. I happened to look to the west and I saw a bright red light traveling at a slow rate of speed in a downward trajectory, almost as if it were coming straight at me. Then it seemed to level off and made very subtle movements left to right, almost unnoticeable. The object continued to travel in a easterly direction and no longer towards me. The brightness of the light never gained or lost brightness as one would expect of an airplane traveling in the night sky. Also there was no sound coming from this object that was traveling at an altitude that normal aircraft would fly at. I can not say how high up in the sky it was, as it was night and my ability to judge distance is not as good as it would be during the day. But if I had to guess, I would say that it was at a height of maybe 5,000 to 7,000 feet, but that is only a guess. As this object was now traveling in and easterly direction it started to make a slow arc to the South East, and began to travel over my house. I watched the object and I noticed that the color and brightness of the light did not dim or change one bit as it passed over my location, as one would expect with a normal aircraft. I continued to watch the object and after it passed over my house it traveled for a bit more then seemed to stop and not move one bit. I ran into the house at this time and tried to find something that I could take a picture with, realizing that I did not have time to do this I went back outside. The time I was in the house was maybe less the 30 seconds. The object was no where to be seen. I have good visibility around my house so I would have been able to see it traveling had it started to move again. The rate of speed that it had been traveling had been slow as if it were a helicopter, not fast at all. I looked and looked all around bout could not find it again. I am sure I will never see anything like this again in my life and I wish I had had the ability to film it. I have been around aircraft all my life. I have flown myself, and my father was a pilot, with an A & P license. My uncle had flown all his life, and was the founder of the Fire Mountain Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol here in Lewis county, and also my mother's husband had retired from the Air Force and had flown with the Thunderbird's after Viet-Nam. I was in the Army and have flown in numerous helicopters.

The two lights became stationary and their light became dim and switched to a bluish tint before disappearing. Very strange.

Spokane Valley, WA
8pm Sunday evening I noticed what appeared to be a large star in our western sky, I quickly realized that it was far to early for stars to be visible, there were none others visible. My friend who had joined me asked how long it had been there and I replied about ten minutes, she said go get your telescope which I did. The object was spherical with lights around its middle very clearly visible. It changed many times it's attitude, meaning it seemed to tip and the lights were at one point close to vertical, then it would right itself and the lights that were around it were again horizontal. This was witnessed by myself and five other adults that were nearby, all agreed that what we were witnessing matched the description given above. It was visible for nearly 30-40 minutes. It moved in northwesterly direction until it was no longer visible. No drugs or alcohol had been used by any of the witnesses...well except one!

I witnessed unexplainable bright light movement in sky tonight. I live out in the country in South Spokane, and I went out past my yard and house to edge of woods to hear the owls. I looked up at what I thought may be very bright plane or maybe satellite but the movement was like NOTHING I have ever seen before. This light was almost falling slowly in the north eastern part of the sky. Almost a 60-70• angle above horizon. It would "fall" or orbit downward in a feather like trajectory, swaying from left to right slowly and then stopping perfectly still with no blinking lights or sound of any kind. Then it would start up again never really following a pattern but seemingly heading downward toward the horizon. Then it just disappeared. I have been a lifelong satellite watcher and can say it was a bit bigger or at least brighter but not much. It had absolutely no flashing lights and when planes or helicopters are that close there is sound. Not sure what to think. Does ISS behave this way?

Clear blue sky with slightest white haze just after sunset, quiet environment. I was outside, began hearing a "mechanical-engine" sound that got louder and louder. Couldn't identify at first, I presumed a semi-truck or train a few blocks away (but NO 'exhaust note'). But it got louder and closer, I realized it was "passing overhead". I stood in the middle of the street, hat off, looking up, turning around and around expecting to see this LARGE aircraft that my ears suggested should be just a few thousand feet up. (I am a Commercial Pilot, have heard many large aircraft, but could NOT compare this "engine-mechanical" sound to this "imagined" 747/B-52 size massive aircraft I could NOT see.) Its path overhead seemed to be NNW (toward Fairchild AFB from here) and I imagined it was decelerating but could be Doppler playing slight sound-tricks. Entire event lasted roughly 60 seconds as the sound faded to nothing to my NorthNorthWest, with never the slightest visual hint. Path crossed over my location Lat 46.91 & Long 117.07 heading to the NNW. Sound peaked in the 80-90db range. Please see similar report from Garfield, WA, for the same time and date. PD

I did not see any objects in the sky. I did hear an extremely loud aircraft but was unable to see anything when I looked for it. The sky was clear at that time. The sound went from west to east. Air traffic in the Spokane area is sometimes heard, this was not like any of those 'planes. I was in the Air Force, married to an air traffic controller, some knowledge of aircraft. This was unusual in that it was quite loud, but I was unable to see anything. My son also heard this at the same time. I mentioned it to him & we both looked for it. Please see second similar report from Palouse, WA, for the same date. PD

Both of us witnessed a very pretty round turquoise object suddenly appear on the left side of the road over a field. We couldn't tell the distance but if you think of the size of the moon from an earthly observance, it was about 2/3 of that size. It didn't look spherical, just a round flat turquoise colored image. It stayed there for about 2 seconds then zoomed away very fast till it disappeared. It left no trail or fire. Very intriguing.

Monroe, WA
Coming home @11:26PM Sunday, May 25, 2014, driving NORTH into Monroe, WA. Noticed a formation of what looked like red-orange rocket flames with two next to each other parallel to horizon with the third one above the right one of the two below. No sounds associated, appeared to be way off in distance. Noticed the top one was moving upward, the bottom right one was moving upward after the top one and the left bottom one was then following the second one such that though initially they formed a right angle triangle, they ended up in a straight line following each other. I watched as each one went into the clouds, as I could see them get "fuzzy" as they entered the clouds and as they approached a thinner portion of the clouds they got less fuzzy but continued to get dimmer due to distance. Where would any rockets be coming from that could be seen from my location and since when do rockets get launched in rapid succession? Actually, I could more likely believe they would be interceptor missiles or something similar. I am eager to find out if other saw these and what explanations there are.

They were moving in a westwardly direction one after another and then disappeared Any others who witnessed these? Location of sighting is an estimate. Source of report did not indicate a location, except for a ZIP code. Witness elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information, even thought he/she requests a response from NUFORC. Possible hoax? PD

It moved from West to East for about 1 minute, and then sped up and changed direction to north. Eventually it disappeared on the horizon. Bright from every angle and completely silent. Altitude was approximately 1000 feet. It was dusk. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

The UFO my Mother and I both witnessed together through binoculars which sit right inside the back door. I also ran into the house and grabbed my 40D Canon camera. I carry it with me pretty much everywhere. I shot this image with a Canon 100-400mm lens on May. 25TH 2014 @ 12:30AM from Edmonds, WA. We had gone outside because they had said on the news that there was possibly a meteor shower that night and we might be able to see a few of them. When we stepped outside this is what we saw immediately. This was no meteor... It approached from the west at a very high rate of speed, came to a dead stop with no hesitation or slowing down. It then zipped miles to the left, stopped and zipped miles the right, came back to center-point to a dead stop again. Then it started flipping and shooting all over the sky and this is the image I caught. I had no idea it would of been this detailed until I had opened it up on my computer. Who knows if it was aliens or a black government project but it certainly was nothing we have ever seen before. It was certainly an anti-gravity craft because nothing in the U.S. arsenal could pull this off in the sky. Especially a human-being with all the G-force on the body. It has a bright blue-white aura or haze around it, left a trail which is evident in the image. We were in shock to say the least. After it was moving all over the sky for a about 3-4 minutes, it came to a stop. We watched it for about 15 minutes sit stationary until the clouds started covering it up then went inside and viewed the images. We are wondering if anyone else in the area saw what we saw.

Personally controlled by extraterrestrial beings. It was "training" to help me do things in an efficient manner such as how to clean, how to walk, how to organize, how to streamline, how to dress... How to fold a blanket and towel efficient for wiping and cleaning, stances like how to stand while bending over and reaching into a car expending the the least energy and saving time with unnecessary movements and bobbles. Had me walk and keep practicing until I could in a straight line with evenly spaced steps with my feet turned at a particular angle comfortable for me. when I felt bored and tired and tried to walk away, turning directions, I was pulled quickly by a force, several yards. Had me repeatedly walk and practice walking

I was out side cooling off on a hot night and something above me caught my eye I glanced up at it thinking it was a shooting star but then I focused on it and realized it had a a odd wing like shape and was somewhat transparent looking. It was surrounded by a faint orange yellow glow. It glided across the sky with no sound and left a trail of light behind it. Once it got to a certain point it vanished.

I was looking out my window at around 10:05 at night, when I looked south and i saw three lights. The two outer lights were flashing red, but flashing every 3 seconds and at the same time. The middle light was white and moving in all directions, it looked like it was a UFO being followed by two other UFO's guarding it, so I ran downstairs to my brother, so we went outside to check it out. The UFO was about 1 mile wide and moving south east at about the same rate or faster than a regular aircraft. We tried to call my brothers girlfriend because she has seen UFO's that look like this one but the call wouldn't go through the servers, after it was moving north east towards Spokane, Washington, I saw another small one but with out the white light in the middle.

Mill Creek, WA
On Friday, June 20, My spouse and I were inside our home when I noticed what I thought was a red/orange balloon with a yellow burner coming from the west and moving to the southwest. I grabbed my binoculars but it was difficult to focus on. It moved steadily to the south/south east and was finally obscured behind evergreen's. A few moments later another one appeared at the same elevation and moving the same speed and direction......I had my binoculars and tried to focus again, it appeared that there were visible yellow flames at the bottom of the object through the binoc's but it was too difficult to tell what it really was. We had been near SEA earlier in the evening and flights were landing to the south indicating there was a south wind. These objects were moving steadily to the south and thus didn't appear to be balloons which should have gone northward in a south wind. The time of 10 pm is an estimate......it could have been between 10 and 11 ! pm. It was dark out............so readily visible in the night sky.

We heard a loud helicopter over our house so we proceeded out the back patio door and looked up saw a red orb/light maneuvering strangely disappearing and appearing in different locations almost instantaneously. Trying to follow behind it was a military Comanche helicopter with very little success...

I saw two very bright orange lights in the sky around 9:20 pm on Saturday, the 10th of May. I noticed them through my living room window. I am use to lots of air traffic around here so didn't think to much at first. Then the orange lights got me and they were not flying in any of the normal flight patterns. So I went out on my porch to get a better look. Not an airplane, not a helicopter. They both were up pretty high but close enough that I could see very clearly that I did not recognize the shape. I was mostly focused on the orange lights and trying to rack my brain of what aircraft might have those kinds of lights. There was absolutely no noise. The craft was silent. Seemed to be moving along side by side one a tiny bit further back from the other. I went to get my camera to take a picture, but they were gone when I went back out. Never seen anything like that before. Not with orange lights like that. It was only one bright orange light or a cluster not co! mpletely sure about that. Just wanted to report what I saw. No one I know could explain what it might have been. Because I am a teacher and like my privacy I prefer not to give my name at this time.

5/9/2014 Redmond, WA I got up at 0300 to get ready for work. I could hear what sounded like a large engine idling outside. I closed the window and continued to get ready for work. At 0340 I went outside to leave and noticed that the sound was still happening. It seemed to be coming from the sky, but I was unable to pinpoint any source, it was coming from everywhere. It was very reminiscent of sounds I heard growing up by McCord Air Force Base when the planes would test their engines, unlike the planes I couldn’t feel any vibrations, there was just the loud sound. I was surprised at how well the windows had blocked it as it was very loud. Not a UFO but I felt it was strange enough to report somewhere.
