Auburn, Washington UFO Sightings in 2016

Full Report Text:

Object appeared to be on fire, but steady control, altitude and direction. Sighting – 11/12/16 9:10 PST I, ((name deleted)), stepped out of my garage and walked toward our house. I happened to look to the generally eastern sky, and saw an object that appeared to be on fire in flight.

It appeared to be perhaps 1-2 miles away and perhaps an altitude of 1000-2000 feet. We live just 10 miles or so from Seatac Airport, so are very used to seeing aircraft. I pulled out my iPhone6 and thought that I had begun filming shortly after first noticing it, but later determined that I wasn’t and started.

I got 21 seconds of video, but not nearly as close as at first. My total observation was probably just less than a minute, which means the object might have been moving roughly 100 MPH. There was little wind, when I checked the Auburn weather, the last report was just 3 MPH at 9:55 PM.

The object attracted my attention for several reasons. One, it was the color of and appeared to be on fire. Two, I couldn’t discern that it was making any noise.

Three, it moved from that eastern view toward Seattle (a Northerly direction) until it disappeared behind a distant cloudbank. It appeared to maintain a constant trajectory and speed. Relative to the almost full moon (sky very clear for Seattle), the object was perhaps 1/10 of the size of the moon.

I have seen satellites and even the Space Station in orbit, and this was not in orbit and dramatically larger looking.

Hovering lights spotted over FIFE, WA I would like to begin that I am a former member of the us navy and have a very good eye for aircraft. Being in the seattle area I am able to identify every aircraft day or night by its light patterns. tonight I was in my work parking lot near the auburn park and ride.

My attention was first brought to a craft which lights were similar to but not consistent with any craft I have seen hovering over the sky about in the airspace of fife, WA. After just a few moments of watching the solid red, blue, and white lights I noticed there were too many white lights and suddenly the red and white lights were eminating its source outward toward the sky around it. They were red and white lights almost pulsating and changing direction much like a a police car pulling over a car.

Now I first tried to see whether it was in fact airborne as I live in the valley. I was hoping that perhaps it was high on a hill, however it was not. After about 5 mins of watching these pulsating lights (which as a result looked as though the craft was elongated or disk shaped) its colors changed to solid white and blinking red like an FAA approved aircraft.

It began to move north west in the directing of the olympic pennisula rather that the sea tac airport as I would expect such an aircraft to do. Ill be honest in all of my days observing aircraft day, night, shipboard, on land, and at sea I was frightened and concerned for the aircraft I could see preparing to land at sea tac. It maintained the same altitude while it moved from its hovering position with a slight decent maybe 1 or two degrees which is consistent with a craft going further from view.

It was dark, but I have never seen an aircraft emminate that many lights so irradically. I hope that you people can maybe try and find a logical explination for this. Yes I know it was dark, yes there is airtraffic for both lewis/mcchord and seatac however this wasnt any aircraft light pattern I have ever seen.

I sho! uld have recorded it however the truth is the resolution would! nt have been ideal at the distance i was from the object. I wish I would have, but i was focused on gathering all information i could to reject the fact it was a ufo.

Black craft seen over Auburn, WA. My wife and I were outside in our backyard in Auburn, WA, today around 11:30AM and while watching a passenger jet go by to the East, we noticed a black triangular object about 1,000 feet in the sky to the North. It hovered mainly, but seemed to change shapes into other triangular styles.

It never appeared to be moving. I tried to take a video with my Galaxy S7, but the playback showed nothing. Before we knew it, it was gone.

No sound was noticed.

Fireball changing directions over Auburn. Looked as if it was Mars in the night sky. Then object went form stationary to a high speed towards the west, then suddenly stopped.

Once nearly completely stop the object changed directions and headed south. It started out orange and turned more red. ((NUFORC Note: Witness has not responded to an e-mail query from NUFORC, as of the posting date of the report.

PD)).

Two formations of bright objects (13 in total) flying from East to West over the Auburn Valley, in WA At approximately 18:50 in the night sky above my home, moving from East to West appeared a formation of 3 bright objects moving at a steady speed across the sky. I ran inside and upstairs in order to view this formation above the valley from a West-facing window in my home. The formation was clearly visible and still moving West at a steady speed.

Suddenly, from the East appeared a huge formation of 10 additional bright objects heading in the same Westerly direction at the same speed. These were in a distinct formation, and I was able to photograph this second formation with my iPhone as well as take a short video. The lead object was out in front of the second formation by a considerable distance.

There were 8 bright objects in a pattern. The photo I took shows that this could also potentially be 2 formations: One formation of 4 objects in a backwards “C” formation, and a second formation in a distinct triangle formation. Under this single cluster of 8 objects was the 10th object which was slightly brighter and moving in the same direction and speed as all of the other objects.

Both the first and second formation vanished into the distance to the West. Both formation never changed speed, shape, or direction at anytime. It was a very deliberate path and speed.

I have been a life-long amateur astronomer and know that these were not meteors, fireballs, or bolides based on my observations. I am also familiar with what a satellite looks like as it breaks apart re-entering the Earth's atmosphere, and this looked nothing like this. These were brighter than the visible objects in the night sky with a brightness between Jupiter and Venus on a clear night.

According to the NWS data for last night, the wind speeds in the area were averaging 9.6 miles per hour, and the wind direction was East.therefore, it was in the opposite direction these objects were flying.

((NUFORC Note: We spoke at length via telephone with the witness, and we found him to be a quite capable, and serious-minded person. We suspect that he is an exceptionally reliable, and capable, observer. PD)).

They came at first a few together than more in larger groups then smaller scattered groups, last just 3 then 1, all coming from the north east going toward the West, bright yellow with inner blinking red & blue thou these inner colers were not well defined to me because I was very scared, they flew throu several air liners coming & going from Seatac int. Airport, I have a clear view of the air traffic from my condo, I think they were possible below the air liners, they didn't make any sound above the sound of the airliners they were very clear & seemed closer then the airliners, I have lived here almost 12 yrs., have seen all types of commercial & military & medavac planes from my 2nd.

Floor deck, these were not even close to anything I have ever seen before, or such a large group, I am still shaken about what I saw & not getting confirmation of this, live alone am very open-minded, have read many considered at one time controversial books many yrs ago & still shocked by this!.

Today at 12:30am on 2/16/16, while heading southbound on Highway 167, I witnessed a blue flash in the sky while passing by the city of Auburn, Wa. It was electric or neon blue illuminating the sky to the west. There was no sound.

Green bright light. Fast and slow. Circular patterns.

Part force field around it. It was green, very bright. Moved in circles, then left and right, shot up and then down and continued to make weird circling patterns.

Then it very very slowly started lowering itself down towards the tree lines and was gone. The light was bright, didn't flicker and it had this weird shape around it that I could only describe as being the night sky in a circle around it but a few shades lighter. Like, it was invisible.

The light needed around it.

Very bright light. At first looked like a plane and then, as we watched, it seemed to turn around and the colors were red green and white. Than all the sudden it seemed to be backing away and is only a dot in the sky.

WE have seen this 3 other times in the last month. What is it? ((NUFORC Note: Sighting of Sirius? PD)).
