Around 21:30, Thursday, December 29, 2016, I think I spotted an unidentified flying object. My sister, mother, and I were sitting in my living room when my mother pointed out something in the sky. My mother is not a firm believer in UFOS, but we gathered around the bay window.

The object was massive, about as big as a full moon. The object was a deep red, about as red as Santa’s suit. The object didn't seem to be moving, just sitting in one place.

The UFO seemed to sit for about three minutes until it began moving. It seemed to be moving downwards, only a few feet until it disappeared. It didn't go behind any structure, it seemed like it just went invisible, disappearing out from the sky.

We went and got into our vehicle to go look for this light, but we didn't find anything. That's when my father said that we should contact and document our sighting. My sister did get a picture.

The picture wasn't the best quality, but to me, it seemed like there were more UFOs than originally seen.

It was 21:30, when my sister, mom, and I were sitting in the living room. My mom was watching some show on her laptop when she looked over. She had noticed a bright, very bright red thing.

It was red like Rudolph's nose. It was east looking over my neighbor's house. We crowded around the window staring at it.

The object was higher than our neighbors', but just was there. Not moving up or down but was just there. We stared at it for 3:00 min.

, not doing anything, because we didn't know what we were looking at. “Take a picture.” My mom said, quickly.

I snapped a shot with flash mode on, not realizing. I tried to get another picture, but it disappeared. It like began fading into the darkness of night.

The size you could tell was big.

Bright Red Lighted Object over Davenport, WA At approximately 21:30 on 12/29/2016, I was sitting in my living room watching a movie on my laptop. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a bright red light in the sky out my living room window. At first I thought it was a firework, but the light stayed constant and there was no sound, such as a whistle or boom.

There were no lights on in my living room at the time of this sighting. My living room window faces East. I quickly got up from my seated position and alerted my daughters to the bright light in the sky.

One of my daughters had her cell phone handy and I asked her to take a quick picture. She did take the picture, however, the she had the flash on and the quality of the picture is not the best. The picture does not accurately reflect the bright red of this unknown thing in the sky.

Upon inspection of the picture that my daughter took, I believe there were at least 3 unknown objects in the sky. I continued to watch this bright red thing in the sky until is just disappeared. It did not appear to have any upward or downward motion, it just disappeared.

Honestly, as a skeptic, this has me a little rattled.

Bright lights changing formation and the flying straight up until they disappeared. At 18:49 I was surprised to see what I at first believed to be red flares in the low east sky from my residence. It wasn't until 9 of the came into view and went from a straight line into a shape that resembled the Little Dipper that I realized these craft were flying.

They proceeded to change to a southward direction, as well as gained more altitude. I ran for my camera and had someone else come and see what was going on. In less than 5 minutes time they had again changed formation and were disappearing into the sky as they changed direction and went straight up into the sky.

A turqoise light lit up the entire sky with no apparent point of origin. My girlfriend and I were traveling home for Christmas on Highway 14 in Walla Walla County, Washington. The area around was vast open fields.

There were only three vehicles on the road that night, a semi in front of us and one behind us. We were just driving along when suddenly a bright turquoise light lit up the sky. The light didn’t seem to have a location where it was coming from.

It lasted about 3 seconds then stopped. My girlfriend and I were completely tripped out. Then it happened again.

This time the time length was shorter but it lit up the entire sky. I looked above us and it seemed apparent that it was coming from right above us. When I say it lit up the entire sky, I mean it lit up the sky for miles upon miles.

There was no airports near us and no towns for another 60 miles. ((NUFORC Note: Witness is going to try to establish the exact location of the event, and send the information as an addendum. He first reported that the sighting had occurred near Walla Walla, but the location cited above is more accurate, he now believes.

PD)).

Bright white light hoovering in the southeast sky near Olympia Went out to get mail, saw very bright light in southeast sky. Grabbed the binoculars, took a peek. It was a very ornate sphere that was lite on the outside from the outside but I could not see a light source.

It resembled, on the outside, one of those intricately carved stone balls that has a carved stone ball inside that and another carved stone ball inside that. It was white but occasionally a black stripe or band would appear as if it were rotating. However, when I was looking at it it did not seem to be rotating until the black band zipped through.

Guessing it was about 1500 feet up and I estimate it to be about as big as a modest sized house. I did notice air traffic so they had to have seen it. I did take video of it with my cell phone and snapped a few photos.

Flashes over my house. Over hour's worth of time, anywhere from 15-25 minutes apart, three consecutive flashes appeared outside my house 8 times throughout the night. It was as though lightning had struck, but without thunder or a rumble of dispersing electricity from said flash.

I watched for them after every of the three flashes that would go off, waiting for the time amounted until i saw it was directed at me from the sky. Or at least that's what it looked like. It is foggy and cloud filled skies at this time of 7am now.

I haven't SEEN a UFO per say, as though the flashes came from thin air. But i did notice it (the flashes) were relatively close to being probably 30ft to 60ft diagonally from my window into the sky that I could see into, but not seeing any occupants inhabiting the skies. The air feels frizzy and my blanket is shocking me fore i think it is because of these paranormal flashes.

This is my report.

Shifting orb witnessed at Stevens Pass, WA. After a day of skiing at Stevens Pass, I was staying the night at the ski resort with some friends in the RV lot so we could ski the following day. Around 7:00p.

m we left our camper and walked to the main base area of the resort. Skiing operations closed at 4:00 that day and the mountain was dark, but the base area was illuminated, and we used this lighting to play a game of cornhole (beanbag toss game) right in the main courtyard area next to the lodge and clock tower. It was a very cold night with broken clouds and occasional snow showers.

We were the only ones outside in the area. It was the night before a full moon and the moon looked amazing with the small broken clouds moving quickly past it. Having the place to ourselves with the resort lodges and clock tower decorated in Christmas lights and the full moon in the backdrop, I tried my best to get a picture with my phone that captured the whole scene.

To do this I stepped about thirty feet away from my friends, took a knee and held my phone at an angle that got all three of my friends in the frame as well as the moon (this was tricky and you will see that in a couple shots either a friend or the moon gets cut off). Once I had the correct angle I waited for gaps in the clouds as they passed over the moon. After snapping a couple photos, I first noticed the object in the screen of my phone.

The object first appeared as a blotch of white light in the screen of my phone. It seemed like a morphing light ball with a bright core surrounded by a duller light and was very fluid yet erratic in its movements. If I had to guess I would say the core was the size of a large grapefruit and the outer layer the size of a beach ball.

It was like a luminescent aerial jellyfish. The object first appeared in the sky around the trees in the background and moved toward us. It came as close as the clock tower (the photo showing the object in front of the lodge verifies its proximity).

At this point, I looked up from the camera, where the image was very bright, however with my bare eyes I could only see the outer dull light, but the inner bright sphere was still visible in the screen of my phone. Put another way: With my bare eyes, the object was not very noticeable and I might have not noticed it. At the same time it was glowing even brighter than what was captured by the camera on the screen of my phone.

At one point most of my screen went white. I was really confused and rendered speechless. At this point I stood up and pivoted my whole focus to the object.

As soon as I did the object shot off to the trees behind the lodge, paused near the top for one to two seconds and then shot off over Big Chief Mountain at impossible speed and was gone. As you can see in the pictures, my friends were oblivious of its presence and I wasn’t able to process what I was seeing in time to verbalize what I was seeing. By the time I did, it was gone.

I still really have no idea what I saw and the photos just add to the mystery. Likely unrelated, we did see multiple F/A-18 or F15s (looked like they had 2 vertical stabilizers) jets flying at low altitude over the resort the following morning.

Bright oddly shaped light in the clouds in Northern Snohomish My son and I were driving Northbound on Bickford Ave just about to take the on ramp to Highway 2 when the sky lit up and there was an oddly shaped bright white light in the clouds. The shape was hard to make out because it was in the clouds but it looked to be diamond shape with streamers of light coming off of it. It happened fast but didn’t appear to be lightning or move.

It seemed stationary. I saw it, then looked at my son, he then asked me “what kind of drone was that dad”? ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Silent curved shape changing object gliding through the sky I was outside letting my dog out before heading to bed like I do every night when I noticed this curved ufo gliding through the sky. While gazing at the stars I noticed what I thought at first was a satellite in my peripheral vision. It caught my attention, and I immediately looked towards it.

I then realized this wasn't a satellite. It seemed to be lower in the sky then a satellite, as it was a lot brighter. It had six lights making a curved shaped and glided silently through the sky from the North West, heading South East.

I watched the object for 5-7 seconds (felt like forever) before the six lights that made up the curve changed into one object and disappeared. It was not a plane, or like anything I have ever seen. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Looked up above my house on jblm, Lewis main. Three balls of red flare light hovered over. The Blackhawks were not flying at all at this time.

I drove by the airfeild which is down my street to see the birds all parked. At first the balls looked to be possibly Chinese lanterns, but it was raining. It was three objects the last object seemed to be trailing the first two.

All objects then dissipated into the sky. I have video but wasn't able to email it because of size. I want to send it to you guys.

I was standing outside smoking a cigarette and looking up in the sky as I usually do and I saw what I thought was an airplane at first. Then it started to weave back and forth and move between stars. There were no blinking lights on it, and it never moved in a straight line.

It just weaved around stars. It made a circle around from north to south and then it weaved around three stars, it blinked and disappeared. As it weaved around the last three stars, they blinked, as it passed.

I don't believe in aliens or UFO's, well, until now, but this definitely freaked me out. It was way too high, I think to be a drone. Not sure what it was, but nothing like I had ever seen before.

Blue lights over northwestern Seattle sky. I saw bluish-greenish lights in the sky in northwestern Seattle, appearing like colored lightning or aurora borealis (but it was cloudy), and I didn't hear any explosions or other loud noises roughly in the area above the Ballard fishermen's terminal or Bainbridge Island. They appeared intermittently, I recall 3 distinct illumination events, and then they rapidly faded out.

I can best describe it as appearing like blue lightning spreading through clouds, but did not see a distinct source of the light.
