Bothell, Washington UFO Sightings in 2001

Full Report Text:

Seemed to fade into sky, and left the same way, slowly fading out. I was outside looking at the stars, when suddenly out of nowhere a cone shaped object appered, and seemed to cruise the night sky. This went on, with the craft searching the dark, black sky moving in a fluid, slow motion, for about 15 minutes.

Then just as mysterisly as it appered, it vanished into the great black vaccume known as space.

flshing lights, darting around very quickly. I noticed out my window bright blinking lights in the sky East. There were several (5-6) lights at least one red and the others white as if on a plane.

The lights were blinking very rapidly and the object was moving up down, side to side and back and forth. I thought it's strange movement must be caused by going in and out of clouds, but I realized there were stars all around so there were no dense clouds. The object moved in this manner along the south sky from east to west, then I watched it go over the house from the west north.

It moved along straight like a "normal" aircraft as it went from the west, northward at which point I lost sight of it. Although I could not say the shape of this object, the lights flashed in a "sequence" or "formation" that gave the appearance of a diamond shape.

2objects with 3 lights in triangle shape moving very slowly at a high altitutde. Me and a coupple of my friends were at work, when one of us went out back to take care of the trash. Because we work in a shoping complex we have other stores to our right and left.

When my coworker went out back a cavilian who was using the laundry mat next door and came out back to take a break. The cavilian noticed the formation and pointed them out to my coworker who promptly came to tell me and my other coworker. We all went out back to check this out because the sun is blocked by the buildings.

We (12 of us because some more people came to see what the commotion was about) looked up and origonaly saw nothing untill we squinted and saw three lights in triangle formation. We then looked just barely south of it and saw three more lights in the same formation (a triangle formation). Both crafts were moving from South to North.

It was hard to see because of the smog and dust from the local freeway, but no doubt this was the reall stuff. In all there was about 12 of us because more people came out to see what was going on. Hey, if you've seen something like this post a messege.

This is cool and creapy at the same time. ((NUFORC Note: We believe the correct time of the sighting is 5:30 p.m.

Please see similar report from co-worker in Bothell, WA, who saw the same formation. Hot air balloons fly in the valley to the east of Bothell, typically during the late afternoon, when winds are relatively calm, but we have no idea whether that might have been the cause of the sighting. PD.

2 triangle shape object fly slowly over Bothell At first glance, I thought it would appear to be airplanes in formation, but at the second and third glance, they appeared to move as one. The size of one of the ships would be relevent to the distance of your index finger and your middle finger spread out. Though the sun was very bright, and we could only see the two objects in the shade, they seemed to be very high up in the atmosphere.

But what puzzles me, is that the objects nevertheless took an half an hour to leave sight, but they didn't leave any after burn trail at all like our aircrafts do. On the two objects the lights seem to be a very bright color, not determined because of the brightness of the day, but they seemed to be a bright white, all six in unison. That is all I saw, then went back to work.

Not balloons I was reading your report of 12 people working at a Bothell supermarket who saw 3 triangle shaped objects. Your explanation of these objects was that they were balloons. I live in Woodinville (a mere 3 miles away from Bothell) and balloons go over my house about every other day.

These balloons frequently fly above my house at a very low altitude (somewhere in the margin of 250 feet) and there is usually 1 at a time in the sky, and they never fly in the full darkness, so i find it hard to belive that those objects could be the balloons. Thanks.

i saw a trainguler shape in the sky with light on every corner. Lights like blue, red, yellow, green, all flashing at random times. the craft was moving at a good consistant speed.

Then at of know where it disappeared. ((NUFORC Note: Source is anonymous. We presume the witness means a nighttime sighting.

PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Several similar reports for the evening on this date. We suspect the objects may be the three satellites that have been reported to NUFORC on many occasions, and which we believe are part of the U. S.

Navy N.O.S.

S. satellite system. PD)).

Full Report Text:

brilliant blue pulsating lights that were blinking in and out and swirling around one another ( Incredible ) I was sitting down on my apartment's third floor balconey relaxing after getting home from work. Looking up at the sky, like I always do when I sit on my porch. I noticed two pulsating blue lights that seemed to be as big a dimes when I scaled them with my fingers.

These objects seemed to me to be observing the surrounding area. They were top shaped but I really could not make out thier shape. I'm a banker and strongly believe in the existence of UFO's.

I do know the difference of conventional aircraft and satalites. I'd say these objects were about a 1/2 mile up in the air. They were motionless in the sky except for the one which was cruising around the stationary one.

I called out to my roomate and told her to come see what I was looking at, but she wasn't available. I kept watching them and they started blinking in and out, that's when they started flashing and blinking to different points in the sky further and further away from eachother. Really amazing and kind of beautiful at the same time.

Finally they left the view of the horizon and left to go god knows where. Incredible, incredible experience. ((NUFORC Note: We do not understand what time the witness implies.

He may mean 0230 hrs. PD)).

The light came out of the eastern sky. The light was dimmer than aircraft of any sort. It had one brighter light and two other lights that were dimmer, surrounded by a glow.

It was in the same light as the bright light, just dimmer. in conjunction with a full moon, it was round. but half sized.

It moved in a direction from right to left. upwards. stopped.

them moved downwards. right to left. then straight across (left), from right to left, then upwards.

(in conjuncion with the moon), an inch (?) then downwards. and then darted behind the trees. and then I could see it no more.

By Daniel Gallagher transcribed for ((names deleted)) asked: What impressed you about this the most? A: The way it came out of the sky. It came out of nowhere. the way it moved.

the way it looked. It didn't look like ANYTHING I had ever seen before. no airplane.

no helicopter. NOTHING has EVER manuvered like this thing had done. The way it glowed is unlike anything I had seen before.

It was almost like a waterrwash.dancing spiritually. ((name deleted)) is an otherwise conservative sort, having a history in banking and similar routine activities.

Never have I known her to claim what she didn't earnestly believe to be true. And while I didn't get the opportunity to witness what she claimed, I witnessed in her such a profound and different behaivior from the ((name deleted)) I've known for some time. She came running in faster than I have ever seen her move in my life.

She was intense with an immediacy of something profound. I have NO REASON to doubt her impressions. ((name deleted)).
