Bellevue, Washington UFO Sightings in 2001

Full Report Text:

Fixed object passed overhead, silently and with no running lights, in clear night sky. At approxamitely 20:15 on 10/3/01, I stepped out onto my back deck to have a cigarette. I left the porch light off to observe the night sky.

After a few moments I observed an object travelling at a high speed, by far faster than any aircraft I have ever seen (Military or Civilian) towards the SE. This object had no running lights, left no contrail and was completely silent. It looked for all the world like the detached wings of a glider aircraft.

It was silhouetted clearly in the night sky because the sky was clear and there was an almost full moon in the Eastern sky, low in the horizon. I observed this for approx. 2 seconds as it passed through at about 20-25 degrees overhead, disapearing behind a line of trees.

I have observed many unusual sights in the night sky but this is the first that has left me completely stumped. The object size exceeded, by far, the diameter of the moon by about 1 and 1/2 times. There was one other aircraft visible in the night sky, identifiable by it's running lights, travelling in a similar direction but apparantly oblivious to the object.

I came inside and phoned in the report and will be mailing a drawing to the reporting center. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness at length, and found him to be an unusually good witness. The object moved across a large swath of sky at a very high (angular) velocity, and it had no visible lights on it.

PD)).

A CIRCULAR BALL OF LIGHT WITH NO TAIL! MOVING VERY FAST FROM ZENITH TO NORTHERN HORIZON. TOO FAST FOR PLANE/ NO TAIL It was definitely on Sunday. either the sept 15th +/- a week (sorry I meant to write it down) I was comming home from an evening service at Bellvue Unity on Sunday night 21:20 pm.

Driving do NOrthpast Eastgate and saw a ball of light in the sky that moved as fast as a meteore.but had no Tail at all! It was just a circular ball of light. it took 2-3 seconds to traverse from top of my windshield towards the Northern Horizon.

It was as big as a streetlight 2 blocks away.but was much much brighter and of course moving at tremendious velocity. Again I'm sure this was not a meteore as it had no tail.

I've seen a few fireballs that size and they ALWAYS have long glowing tails. Way to fast for any plane .but no tail like a meteore.

Very bright ((NUFORC Note: Witness is an academician in Seattle. He appears to be a reliable and credible observer. We have changed the date here to 16SE01, which may be off by a week.

The witness will attempt to confirm the date. PD)).

At 11:50 PM on March 13, 2001 I saw a fast moving, bright orange light traveling south to north. At about 11:50 PM on March 13, 2001 I saw a bright orange light traveling south to north. I live in South Bellevue, Washington.

I had just stepped outside to take one of my dogs out before going to bed. As I stepped off the porch in the back yard I looked back, over the roof of my house, to the West. There I first saw the bright orange light.

It was due west when I first caught sight of it. There were a number of trees blocking my view, yet I could see that it traveled at a very high rate of speed. It moved quite a bit faster than any plane I had ever seen.

I would say it took about 5 seconds to travel from where I first saw it to the west until it disappeared from my view to the North. I would say it was around 30 to 40 degrees above the horizon. There was no sound nor was there any trail of sparks.

It appeared to travel straight and level. I wrote down notes about the sighting the next day. I didn't know what to do about it at the time.

Then a few days ago I saw your program on the local cable access channel. I copied down the URL for the web site and decided I should report it.

3 hovering lights above Lake Washington after driving around Bellevue for awhile, we stopped on top of Somerset hill and were checking out the view. IT was about 5:45am. We look out over lake Washington and hanging in the air are 3 bright lights in a triangle.

They just hovered there, not moving for about 5 minutes or so. Then the lower left one started to move off towards Tukwilla, couple minutes later the top one moved off and then finally the third one moved off, all pretty slow and very smooth, not like hellicopters.

small white circles that fade in and out and remain motionless for minutes at a time We were watching the east horizon to see the sun rise, on a beautifully clear day. I noticed a white speck over the Cascade mountain range slowly fade into vision. It was small, very far away but a definate circular shaped object that remained motionless for about 3 or 4 minutes.

It did not change shape,color, or size. It faded slowly back out of vision, and as it did so, another one the same way as before faded in and remained motionless for a few minutes, then faded out. I saw another one faintly do the same thing after that.

It was much smaller, but followed the same pattern. ((NUFORC Note: Anonymous report. We wonder whether the witness might have been observing contrails by commercial jet aircraft approaching from the east.

PD)).
