Full Report Text:
10-15 yellow orange lights south of Bellingham Observed from Canada by an airport control tower. 10-15 yellow orange lights slowly moving across the sky in trail and very loose formation. Came into sight low over horizon distant south east of Bellingham and disappeared approximately over Whidbey Island at what seemed to be a high altitude.
Did not climb or descend, but just tracked across the southern sky from east to west until they disappeared, one or two at a time.

At about 8:30pm - 8:45pm on Christmas Night, I stepped out into my back yard and looked at the western sky. Through the tall trees in our backyard I could see a bright orange orb in the sky. I went out to the middle of the back yard to get a better view of the sky, unobstructed by trees, and noticed two more bright orange orbs that matched it.
Together they formed a scalene triangle formation - the two lights to the left were basically one above the other, and the one to the right was further away and sort of centered between the other two. They were not blinking or moving, they were stationary and glowing the exact same color and were brighter than anything else in the sky. I called for my husband to come out and look at them.
Clouds were coming in, but he was able to witness one of them for a minute or two before it disappeared behind the clouds. I went back in with my family and started talking about what I had seen, and my Mom said she had seen them about two hours earlier when she was coming over to my home. She lives on a hill about 1.
5 miles away, and had clearly seen them, unobstructed, as she drove down the hill on the way to our home. She described the exact same three stationary orange glowing objects in the exact same place and in the same triangular position in the western sky. I initially thought the objects may have been lanterns, but there is no way they were if she had seen the exact same objects two hours prior to me seeing them.
I also wondered if they were planets, but they were the same size, same color and glowing, not twinkling.

Bellingham WA, 3 unknown flying crafts appeared at approximately 6:30 PM Pacific Time. They were red/orange colored. Last night December, 25th, 2015.
I was outside waiting for a cab, and I noticed some strange lights in the sky. I'm not into the UFO investigating, but there were three of them lined up, by the time I got my phone out two of them just shot away. No way it's a plane because one went backward.
I'm an experienced Paranormal Investigator (Ghost Hunting), but I never investigated UFO's, I have two pictures which I would be happy to send you.

Witnessed a very large-dark object with three red lights, distanced by triangle traveling between large cedar trees and the beach shore. My fiance' and myself were just leaving from a friends' place. We were traveling south at about 10 MPH, as there are speed bumps throughout the complex.
She pointed southeast up into the sky, saying "look at those lights"! It took me a few seconds to focus my eyes and see what she was referring to. There were three red lights in a triangular shape, behind a bunch of very large cedar trees. It appeared to be extremely large, traveling West.
It was disappearing behind the trees, we tried to speed up to get to a clearing to have a better view but by the time we got past all those trees, it was gone. We live right near the beach and islands, so I believe while we were looking west but more southwest, it may have been traveling more northwest. It was unbelievably surreal!!!.

3 red orange balls over Bellingham in a triangle formation. Was driving along Interstate 5, northbound, when noticed 3 red/orange glowing balls to the west of me. They were in a triangular formation, with two of the balls close together and the third a longer distance away.
It appeared to be stationary. They were too big to be stars, and they weren't moving, so I concluded they were not planes. I watched this object for maybe two minutes while trying to drive, then lost view of it behind trees and houses.
After I lost track of it, I noticed there were no large red/orange stars visible anywhere, nor did any of the planes in the sky have solid non-blinking lights. Plus, the plane lights were smaller. I don't know what it could have been.
But it was in a triangle formation and just sitting there. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

White circle dot w/markings above a black helicopter. My son and I were on a walk and paused on a walking overpass on Alabama Hill. While we paused to enjoy the view, a black helicopter appeared and we took photos of it.
When we got home and looked at my sons photos, we noticed a bright round dot in the sky above and to the left of the helicopter. Upon closer inspection, the bright round object has five, maybe six dots on it. Maybe it’s nothing, but just in case it is an actual ufo, I wanted to submit it.
((NUFORC Note: Lens flare. PD)).

Fireball with tail suddenly hits lower altitude, flame gone, half-circle shape with antennae. Happened to look up at this object while walking near downtown Bellingham. Began as a fireball with a "pollywog"(baby frog) shape (I remember thinking), complete with a "tail" kind of wagging behind it.
Watched this maybe 2 seconds, then suddenly, a flash of blue, and the fireball was gone, and I recall expecting the object to be round, maybe a meteor, but instead it was HALF OF A CIRCLE in shape, with the front shaped flatish, and on each side of the front, I somehow made out two sets (of two) antennae-like protrusions. (changing of colors due to coming out of orbit, likely; though I do not know the technical term for it, but like a spacecraft that hits the outer layers of sky on Earth, and going through that, and then suddenly having gone through it, and there was a flash of blue when it did that) As soon as I realized this half-circle shape, with the strange aparatus protrusions, I was taken so aback that I didn't watch it any longer, and it was gone.

Small slow flying disc shape. May 19th, my wife and I just saw an unidentified object moving slowly from West to East over Bellingham, WA. It was round in shape and had lights around it.
We watched it for about 10 minutes as it flew slowly and then ascended at a faster pace and disappeared. We have never seen anything like this before and are hoping that others in the area have seen it too, as it was fairly low and slow moving.
