Spherical White Object Seen from Aircraft While Landing at SeaTac Airport I was on Alaska Airlines flight #1460 from Las Vegas to Seattle, seated in a window seat 7A. I was looking out the window as we flew over Tacoma, making a left turn into SeaTac to land. At about the time we were flying over Des Moines on final approach I saw an object appear to be level with us, either stationary or slowly moving relative to the plane.

As we flew by, it was only visible for a few seconds. The object was perfectly spherical and white in appearance. It was not reflective, but smooth.

It's difficult to estimate it's size and distance, but my guess is it was about 100 to 200 feet from the left wingtip, and 3' to 6' in diameter. My first thought was that it might be a balloon, except that it was perfectly spherical (nothing was hanging from it) and opaque white in color, not transparent at all.

Large silver oval object over Redondo Beach area Seattle Washington While walking north on 16th ave, I happened to turn to the south for no reason and see what happened to look like a silver special occasion balloon come across the lower tree line over 16th Ave S. rather quickly from the Redondo location and pick up speed. I lost this object in the trees for a few seconds and it made a sharp left to just what I can only assume was the I-5 highway then made a very sharp right turn south in the same direction of the highway.

After that I lost track of it as it was out of my field of vision.

Four lights in the sky. I was driving south on 405 with my friend, where I noticed lights in the sky, flashing at the right side of my front windshield at about 7:15 pm. First, I thought it was reflection of the headlights of the cars that was following me.

But suddenly this object moved to the left side of my car and started flying at the same speed with me. Now I and my friend saw it clearly. There were four lights of blue colour, egg form (colour could have changed because of the clouds) that moved quickly towards center where they met and then separated evenly in opposite directions.

My friend said it was projector but I said it couldn't have crossed freeway. After I dropped off my friend I got to my home. I spent there about 20 minutes and drove to meet with friends in Bellevue.

Google layed route through interstate 5 where I've met these lights again. I don't believe in coincidence and I also do not want to think it was helicopter chasing me with some kind of unusual projectors. The lights did not even touch the ground and did not have beams.

I understood that this object was possibly changing it's altitude because the lights changed it's size. Second time I saw it, it was about 8:00 pm. It all happened on 03/10/2017.

Finally after I got home at about 11 pm and parked the car. I've seen the reflection of the lights on the house I live in. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite serious and sober-minded.

He added that he now believes that the reflection of lights on the house were due to headlights of vehicles on a nearby roadway, and that they did not have anything to do with his sighting, earlier in the evening. PD)).

5 circular disks hovering in straight line. There were 4 objects hovering about 150 yards in the air along the west side of I 5 they were in line about a mile apart from each other. I was going northbound past all 4 and then a 5th one flew from the east to west crossing over I-5 and then stopped.

All were the exact same. Disk shape with square panels domed out on the bottom with white lights in vents in all all of the outer most sides of the craft. There were red solid lights and a white light that blinked on one side and then immediately on the other side and repeated every couple of seconds.

I took a picture. It was dark out and the picture came out all white with nothing on it. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

PD)).

Des Moines WA 6 white orbs in diamond configuration on east side of Maury Is WA 8pm 12/9/14 I live on the waterfront and look out at Maury Island. Tonight I notice a line of very bright lights along what is a roadway on the east side of Maury. I thought they were unusually bright so I grabbed my binoculars.

As I looked at them I couldn't figure out how they could have become so much brighter than ever before. I then noticed above them in the sky hovering what might have been only a couple hundred feet was a configuration of 6 dimly lit orbs in a diamond configuration. At this point my binoculars started to fog up and in the time that I took them away to wipe them clean and looked back everything was gone.

The familiar dimly lit roadway lights were again visible and the diamond shape configuration of 6 orbs was gone too.

Light in the sky slowly changes from orange to red as crosses the sky. I was walking my dog as I most nights from about 8:30 to 9 pm. I live near SeaTac airport (under a flight path) so I am familiar with what aircraft look like landing and higher up in the sky and with normal flight traffic/patterns.

I was walking east and notice an unusual light in the sky towards the northern horizon moving south. The light was changed from orange to red slowly then back, not flashing from one color to the other. If finally disappeared into some clouds.

In the duration of the sighting, spanned about 2/3 of the sky. Immediately I know it was unusual and thought it was a helicopter. I when the landing planes had passed I expected to hear helicopter noise, but it was quiet.

I took some video with my phone and have the video that I can share with you, simply ask.

Bright yellowish orange sphere spotted over Puget sound by 2 people; it remained very still for minutes then disappeared. On deck, facing west watching fireworks over Puget Sound. Sky was clear, stars visible.

Spouse pointed to bright yellow/intense orange circular light in sky below and to south of Big Dipper; thought it may be Venus or Mars because it was larger and brighter than any stars in the sky and it did not move. I didn't think that it looked like a planet, it was larger and brighter. It remained still, unmoving.

After about 3 minutes, it then disappeared in an instant. There were fireworks going off and the moon to the south of the light, but they did not affect the brightness. After it disappeared, it did not return in the following 20 minutes that we remained outdoors.

Larger Saucer Red, White, and Gold Lights Over Puget Sound Des Moines. My father went on the back deck and was looking at the stars over Puget Sound, between Saltwater State Park and Maury Island. We are on a hill.

The dogs in our neighborhood were barking very erratically which kind of freaked him out. He saw a large saucer shaped object (approximating) 3 miles away, 1,000 feet in elevation, 75 yards wide, 30 feet tall. It was hovering over the water.

It had a very brilliant bright stream of red, white, and gold lights in a line around the rim of it and faint light coming from the top. He yelled for us to come outside and my brother came out first. It vanished as my dad was yelling for us to come out.

My brother did not see it when he came outside. About 10 seconds later it appeared before their eyes. Seemingly materializing out of thin air.

The rest of us came out and observed the object hovering over the watering looking as though it was rotating. It hovered for about a minute and a half. All of a sudden the right side tilted upward at about a 30 degree angle, and slowly flew to the left, still maintaining that angle, then sped up and disappeared behind the trees.

I tried to record it on my phone but it wouldn't focus and the craft would not show up on my screen even though I was pointing my phone directly at it. The observers were My Father ((forties)); My Mother ((forties)); Myself, Their Daughter ((twenties))); My Brother ((teens)); My Boyfriend ((twenties)), My son ((youngster)).

my wife saw a huge object in roughly the same location as i did in the past. it was too slow to be a meteor. it happened south of us.

this is roughly the location of Fort Lewis and Mchord AFB so it might be military. ((NUFORC Note: Time unspecified by witness. PD)).

Weird fireball that just diappeared without fanfare and followed up by 4 fighters. Say it streak east to west. The news said a few others reported it.

It moved very fast yet no sonic boom and no burn up. Just a massive fast fireball that just disappeared rather then break or blow up. Not like any other re-entry oblect I have ever seen.

About 20 mins later I saw 2 F-16s come from the south and 2 EA-6b Prowlers come from the North to the area I saw it.

Viewed a grey hovering cylinder above SW Seattle About 1pm on Thursday the 14th of August, I was sunbathing in the backyard and was observing the southwest corner of the sky (watching some insects fly by) and noticed a cylinder hovering parallel to the horizon.it looked similar to a light saber handle, with a gunmetal grey skin and lighter colored raised surfaces on it's surface. It hovered for about 10 seconds than simply 'dissolved' into the surrounding sky.

Soon after, they announced that there was an east coast power outage.so I am not sure if this could be some sort of weapon? Or, if this is truly some sort of UFO.

Heard a sound like a moving object through the air, starting and stopping. I was standing outside my apartment when I heard a whooshing sound like something moving through the air. I looked at the trees and they were not moving, no wind present.

The sound stopped and started at least 3 times. I looked up but couldn't see anything, but it sounded like it was abover me and the apartment. I then saw a briefly glowing light that was oval shaped.

I heard the sound once more. I stood outside for about 5 more minutes and didn't hear anything else. I then went in the house and told my wife.

Multi-colored sphere shaped object observed in western sky for approx. 30 minutes, the first 15 minutes or so in a stationary position. First observed at about 11:40pm pdt in a stationary position in the western sky approx.

40 degrees above horizon. It displayed multi-colors. These colors were red, blue or blue/green, and a kind of yellow color.

The colors were flashing or blinking in a random pattern. After watching it for 5 to 10 minutes in the same position, I went to get a pair of binoculars and returned to find it still in the same position. I could see the general shape and colors but it wasn't close enough to make out any other details.

After a few more minutes, it began moving slowly in a northwesterly direction and lower on the horizon until it disapeared out of sight. No radical movements was observed, but it was odd enough for me to call the local tv station to bring it to there attention.(didn't really know who else to call).
