Full Report Text:
Starlight UFO in sky going in odd directions
There was a bright starlight in the sky and then I realized it was moving upward like a plane. It was right after the sun was setting, the whole sight was about 15 seconds. As it went up it suddenly took a 90 degree turn to the right.
I thought that was odd so I kept watching it. It went straight up in the air then dipped down, then back up again like a loop but fast enough it couldn't be a plane as if you were drawing with crayon in the sky. It went steady up and to the right in the sky.
Looking East near Mill Creek.
Full Report Text:
Shiny object moving quickly across the sky N-S Mill Creek / N Bothell WA
North Bothell, WA. Between 4:50-4:55 PM my wife and I were sitting on our front porch which faces East. I know this to be the exact time because we called my sister and cell phone shows called made at 4:52.
As we talked on speaker phone, my eye caught something moving north-to-south (from Mill Creek to Bothell) straight across the sky. It was hard to determine elevation and size but likely at a thousand feet or so and small, round shape (?). It was shiny and appeared reflective so hard to determine the exact shape.
I saw it first and asked. "what's that?" My wife looks up and immediately says, "a bird". I continued looking to make sure it wasn't a sea gull or white bird flapping wings, and beyond a doubt it was not a bird.
I said, no way that is a bird. That looks really strange. She could tell it wasn't a bird either and then replied, "a mylar balloon".
Ok, now a balloon caught in a wind current is a possibility and fits som! e of the description. I am rational and reasonable and this could explain it. However, something just seemed off about that explanation.
I tried to get my brain to see it as a mylar balloon but the size, speed and way it moved could not reconcile. I would not waste my time reporting this if I was confident it was just a balloon or a drone. We continued to watch it as continued out of view.
no other changes as it went out of sight. Am curious if anyone saw and reported this same object?.
Full Report Text:
Two sets of 3 triangular formation red lights flying northbound, no sound, chemical smell afterwards.
I went to my backyard to let the dog out, and as I was standing there facing south, I saw 3 red lights flying at normal aircraft speed, but in a triangle formation, going north directly my toward me, but very high in the ski. Just as they were about 70 degrees in sight, they gradually faded out.
No aircraft sounds, no blinking and the faded one by one.
As the last one faded, the next set of 3 appeared, same triangle pattern, same exact flight path, same structure, same red light, same fade out.
I didn’t have my cell phone, so I could not record it, but I went back outside and noticed a very strong chemical, burned plastic smell.
And the smell is still happening now, 30 minutes later.
