Full Report Text:
A ball of fire with a tail movng from north to south in the western ski
It was in the western skies, moving from north to south. A ball of fire with a long tail following it,I assume it was a metor. But did not see any news reports on it.
I pointed it out to one of the passenger. Probably others heard me and looked also.
((NUFORC Note: Similar reports and video tapes from other parts of the Seattle area.
They looked to us like contrails behind distant airliners. PD)).
Full Report Text:
Slow speed with no attempt to cloak their presence or any apparant concern of being noticed.
Weather warm with light cloud cover. Laying out by the apartment complex pool.
Saw two silver disks (basic, stereotypical craft with a slight dome on top) the size of a quarter held at arm's length flying parallel formation with a quarter sized gap between the two. No sound. Altitude no more than 3,000 feet.
Clearly defined against the sky traveling southwest through the SeaTac landing/takeoff path over I-5 in the general direction of the Port of Tacoma/Bremerton.
The most outstanding aspect was that they were ‘meandering’ at the same speed as a Cessna 172 with absolutely no apparent concern about being seen. As if they were in their sky and those who saw them should consider them to be an ordinary, mundane event.
There was no indication of how they were propelled, who was inside or where they were going.
I have been interested in the topic for over fifty years and my first response was ‘finally I saw some’ not ‘what were those?’ Being familiar with the subject I did a check down eliminating lanterns, floaters, small aircraft or any other object. Now whenever anyone asks if I thought flying saucers were real, I can answer in the affirmative without any hesitation.
Full Report Text:
Unusual object sighted in Pacific Northwest sky
When returning inside with the newspaper, I glanced up at the sound of a passing jet headed for the airport. As the jet passed, I caught sight of another object, oval-shaped, light-colored with a dark circular spot in the center. I was looking up at a steep angle so could only see the bottom of the object.
The only reason I spotted it was because the sky was overcast with dark clouds that day. With a normal clear sky I would have never seen this object. It was slowly moving from north to south with a slight oscillating wobble about the vertical central axis.
Althought the object had a definite shape, the edges were oddly indistinct as though viewed through diffuse glass. When it reached a spot due east of me, it stopped and hovered for a minute before almost leisurely continuing on south until out of sight.
