Full Report Text:
Observed through binoculars a bright light moving from north to south at a high rate of speed.
I was laying in my hammock looking at the sky when I noticed several bright objects. I retreived binoculars to observe what I believed to be helium balloon clusters that had been released.
While verifying that they were indeed balloons I noticed a fast moving light pass behind the balloons. I tracked the light with binoculars until I lost sight of it behind some tall trees. The light was 1/8 inch in diameter at arms length as seen through 8 X 23 power binoculars and appeared fuzzy, rather than a single spot of light.
Light tranversed 1/3 of the horizon in approximately 5 seconds in a north to south direction. Seemed too fast for an artificial satellite.
Full Report Text:
Pulsating bright green lights seen NorthWest of Bothell area. Number of lights would change from 1 to sometimes 4 or 5.
At approx.
10pm on 9-9-99 my neighbor asked me to come outside to see what she and her husband were watching. At first there was nothing there. Then, 2 or 3 bright (almost florescent) green lights would pulsate in the sky.
They never appeared to move from the spot where they were, however the number of lights would change. Sometimes there would be only 1 and sometimes 3, 4 or 5. Then the lights would disapear altogether for a few seconds (15-20) and re-appear again.
The neighbors had been watching this for about 10 min. before calling me outside. About 5 min.
after that another neighbor came home and also witnessed the lights in the sky. This was a total of 4 people observing the lights. At 2 instances, there "appeared" to be a "beam" from the light to the ground (or vice-versa).
The lights were quite high in the sky eventhough they were quite large. At times they appeared to be behind a portion of cloud as the view was hazey and dull, and then other times appeared bright and clear, as if it were in front of the cloud. There was absolutely no sound.
The night was quiet and any sound would have been heard. We get quite a few commercial aircraft in the area, so am familiar with their lights and sound. Also get "copters" from Whidbey Island Base and are familiar with their sound.
We are wondering if anyone else happened to see what we saw that night? Any suggestions as to what it was? Have never seen anything like it before.

i was waiting outside of my friend's workplace (ATL, a Phillips company) for him to get off when i saw 4 star like objects flying in a horizontal line formation from south to north across the sky overhead but to the north a bit.
they flew side by side, evenly spaced, at a great speed then all came together and vanished to the north. it appeared as if they left the atmosphere or something.

Full Report Text:
There was a bright light next to Mars, about the same shape, color, size of Mars. Located a little to the left of it. It was stationary and then in about 4-5 secs.
shot off to the left and into the bright moon.
Peter, after I told my sister, ((name deleted)), to send you her sighting, I thought I should send you mine, even though it isn't that interesting. The bright light was indeed close to Mars' brightness.
I hadn't seen many objects move that fast before, but it did shoot off directly into the moon which was in the left of my viewing field. Mars was in my right viewing field (which was my bedroom window!) Hope all is well with you and thank you for your calls. Hope to see you one of these days when our "trials" are over.
