Looked like a ball of fire moving very slowly across the sky. It was very visible, as the sky was clear and I am surprised no body has reported it so far. It might have been a piece of some aircraft burning and falling down the sky.

Bright sphere that was floating in the same spot. Turning lights on and off seemed like every few minutes. It looked like a large electric sphere that would get brighter than disappear then come back brighter.
It didn't seem to move just float there and turn on lights then turn off did this a few times.

It didn't seem to move just float there and turn on lights then turn off did this a few times. One seemed a lot brighter than the others light and didn't show its self as often. I tried to zoom in with my camera and the photos wouldnt snap, only after I put the camera down then it would take a picture.
I am updating this it lasted for 45.

Bright Oval flying object seen in the distance, with the help of binoculars I went outside at about 6 am to take my dogs on emergency potty break. We live in the "woods", and it was still very dark. I looked up at the sky and saw one very bright “star”.
I realized that the sky was overcast and no other stars were visible, I then wondered if perhaps it a planet. I didn’t think it was an airplane because of its height and brightness, and the fact that it did not appear to be moving at all. I observed it for a few moments, and then thought I detected a pulsing quality about it, which seemed odd.
I went inside to grab some binoculars, and when I returned it was still in the same spot. I didn’t think that I would be able to see anything, but I was able to see that it was actually a disk or oval shaped flying object. I felt like I was viewing the bottom part of it, and could see an inner ring of chasing lights, they were brightly colored.
I looked several times to make sure it was in the same spot. I thought it would disappear, but I watched for about 5 minutes. I then decided to wake up my husband and have him take a look.
He saw the same thing. I watched for a little while longer, than noticed that it seemed to be moving slowly further away, and eventually the morning fog obscured it all together. It was too dark and far to photograph.
I would not have noticed it on a clearer night. I don’t know what to think.

Three intensely glowing orange spheres seen. After they past where I was standing, glowing stopped but outline of craft still visible. At 10:46 PM, my husband and I were driving home from watching fireworks.
We live in a quiet area, fairly well wooded, in a suburban/rural setting, 15 miles east of Seattle. We live in an area called Union Hill which is 500 feet above sea level and is a hill top above the small city of Redmond, Washington. We were almost home, a neighborhood with most homes on one acre plots.
I was watching out the passenger side window of the car when I saw a large firework explode. Beside it I saw an immensely, intense glowing orange light, spherical shape, almost like a fireball. I told my husband to immediately stop the car and back-up.
He did and I jumped out of the car and clearly saw a bright, bright, bright orange ball. They were off toward the eastern sky, not too far off as they appeared in the same proximity of where I had just seen the firework explode. (They were not directly overhead.
) Followed close behind was a second orange sphere, identical to the first, and! following the driving line of the first ball. Then, trailing just slightly further behind, was a third sphere. All identical in color.
The most unbelievable, intense glowing orange I have ever seen. My husband was on the driver side and keep telling me to take picture. I wanted to but just felt that if I moved my eyes the objects would be gone before I could figure out how to get a photo.
I watched for maybe 30 seconds. All three looked like they were glowing hot. Once they passed us I could still see them flying but they no longer glowed.
I could see almost like an outline of the ball, faintly defined. It was as if the glowing part was in the front of the object but the backs were dark. And then they were gone.
My husband says he never really saw them. But it was like nothing I have ever seen before. And clearly they were not fireworks.
((NUFORC Note: The witness corrected the date to July 4th. We have corrected it above, as of July 10th, 2015. PD)).

Large flying object with green and red lights in rectangular shape. I woke up in the night and heard a very loud noise, like somebody is running a lawn machine outside. The sound is definitely not like what regular planes would make, so I walked over to the window and pull up the curtain.
I immediately saw a large object in the sky flying at a much lower height than the regular plane with red and green lights in a rectangular shape. The object passed by my window in less than 1 minute. I'm pretty sure it is not the regular plane, it has rectangular shape, fly much closer to the ground and the noise is very special.

Brilliant white light traveling East to West very fast at a steep angle of descent over Redmond, Washington. 2015-02-15 (Sunday 20:00 - 20:30) Clear Sky - No Clouds In passenger vehicle SEA-TAC Air Traffic Visible Overhead and in the Distance. While driving south on 166th AVE NE in Redmond, Washington my passenger and i BOTH saw a brilliant white light traveling EAST to WEST in an what seemed to be a descending flight path.
The light was much brighter than the SEA-TAC air traffic. No debris/sparks/trailing fire were visible at or near the object. The object was traveling significantly faster than the commercial SEA-TAC aircraft traffic that were visible.
The object was traveling EAST to WEST from approximately 10:00 (EAST) to 3:00 (WEST). SEA-TAC air traffic is a constant presence in the sky over our community. I've seen many different types of aircraft of varying types (private, commercial, and military fixed, rotary, and jets) in the sky over Redmond at different altitudes.
Never have I seen any aircraft traveling at this speed. Additionally the apparent angle of descent had me expecting a fireball in the distance. Nothing.
