Seattle, Washington UFO Sightings in 2016

Full Report Text:

Blue lights over northwestern Seattle sky. I saw bluish-greenish lights in the sky in northwestern Seattle, appearing like colored lightning or aurora borealis (but it was cloudy), and I didn't hear any explosions or other loud noises roughly in the area above the Ballard fishermen's terminal or Bainbridge Island. They appeared intermittently, I recall 3 distinct illumination events, and then they rapidly faded out.

I can best describe it as appearing like blue lightning spreading through clouds, but did not see a distinct source of the light.

Straight Line of White Circular Lights Traveling W to E A formation of white circular lights in a straight line. Traveled from west to east. While speeding across the sky, the “head” of the formation quickly shifted left then right, then back to straight.

Continued straight until it disappeared. It was faster than a plane, slower than meteor. It made no noise.

A group of 6 adults all saw the same thing.

I, too, saw flashes of intense white light flash outside my house, and woke up and walked through through my living room and about an eight to ten inch strand of horizontal bright light flashed outside my window. It was so bright, I jumped back and covered my eyes, it startled me so badly, I looked outside to see if there was a vehicle outside, there was nothing. It was pitch black out, so I turned to walk back into the other room and it happened again! I jumped back and swore because it scared me so badly.

The amazing thing is that the strands of light were so intense, bright, and so horizontally thick and distinct. Never have I seen anything like this before. I felt compelled for weeks to see if anyone else saw this phenomenon.

Finally wanted to report what I saw, through some venue, and thus the reason for my post. ((NUFORC Note: Witness provides no contact information. PD)).

Strange flashes of light on a clear night in Sno-King area of WA. At around midnight, I started watching a movie on television. For the record, the movie was "Straight Out Of Compton", which I mention only to disway any notions that I was watching anything related to the paranormal and my imagination got the best of me; thoughts of UFOs were very far from my mind! Just to the left of my TV is a large, south-facing window that I keep open this time of year.

While there are a few tall but thin trees across the street from me, I have a pretty good view of the sky from where I was sitting (on my couch). There was not a cloud in the sky this night. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw what I initially thought was a distant lightning strike as the entire skyline lit up enough to put the trees in silhouette.

But. no thunder. I dismissed it, believing perhaps a distant power transformer had popped.

even though the hue of the light was markedly blue. Ten to fifteen minutes later, it happened again. At this point i! dismissed it as some kind of visual distortion.

it was late.perhaps i had my eyes open too long and glanced at the window and imagined the flash.and as I was looking out the window, it happened again.

My cat started going berserk about this time. Normally, he is lazy. Suddenly he was all about chasing invisible things, and meowing incessently.

This went on until approximately 3am, at seemingly irregular intervals. I finally decided to get up, go outside with ALL of my house lights off and look to the sky to make sure I was actually seeing what I thought I was seeing. I noticed that the dogs in the neighborhood were quite vocal, which is unusual.

I was nearly finished with my cigarette, when *FLASH* it happened again. I immediately activated the stop watch on my iphone to see if in fact the flashes were occurring at regular intervals or not.and, of course, not a single other flash happened after that.

I did not see any *craft* per se, but this was bizarre. and after reading the post from thie person in Renton on the same night at the same time, I felt highly compelled to let them know that they were not alone in seeing this strangeness. Renton is to the south of me, so it stands to reason we saw the same phenomenon.

Bright light with an a flash of an orange tail, before disappearing behind the tall buildings of downtownt Seattle. I'm in my apartment on 8th and Madison, facing west, when I noticed a bright white light moving fairly fast towards the water. It's late, and I've been studying for a test, so my initial thought was I saw the lights on a plane landing.

Then I realized if it was a plane, it would have to be extremely close to appear to be moving as fast as it was. As I'm standing up to get a better look at it, I see an orange steak of like behind it. Next thought is the largest shooting star I've ever seen, and at nearly 5 in the morning.

Next thought was make a firecracker set off from a building? Where I viewed it from, it appeared over the Rainer tower though, so I would have no idea where the firecracker would have been sent off from. I don't believe in UFO's, but this is the only place I could think of to turn to for an explanation. Hopefully, someone else saw it too, and could let me know.

3 red craft in loose formation with sweeping lights followed by 2 more craft circling. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. We have changed the time, to reflect an evening sighting.

PD)).

Full Report Text:

5 very unusual glowing red aircraft flying over Seattle. I was looking East, toward the U of W campus on Friday night around 10pm when I saw 3 aircraft flying in a triangular formation toward me. They were identical, with a kind of pulsing sweeping red glow.

They approached flying East to West over the University District and then turned South and flew toward downtown, as they headed South, they appeared to accelerate, and two more identical craft appeared from the East and followed the same path. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he impressed us as being quite eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness.

Please see his video, taken with a cell telephone, posted to the NUFORC website. PD)).

Full Report Text:

Tear/seed shaped flat black object hovering and moving slowly silent with no lights, it seemed to camouflage itself against the sky. My boyfriend and I stepped onto our back porch, and I looked up and saw a solid black, tear shaped, almost hairy looking (I know that sounds weird but it wasn't shiny and there seemed to be something around it that gave it a spiky looking texture), object, headed 150 degrees SE of Seattle at around 3,500-4,000 ft. It moved slowly, almost a floating motion with absolutely no sound, no lights.

The moon was almost full, half of the sky was clear and the other half had low incoming clouds. The object flew through the direct moonlight but there was no moonlight reflection on the object as if the object surface was a flat black. The object seemed to slow down and hover as it reached a large group of clouds and became harder and harder to see, its outline became vague and soon, I could no longer spot it.

It seemed to camouflage itself against sky. When it was against the clear sky, it was impossible to see until it was in the moonlight. It ended up kind of blending with the clouds it approached.

Size wise, it was smaller than a 747, but larger than a minivan. My boyfriend didn't have his glasses on so he did not see the details I did but he did see its movement. ((NUFORC Note: Due to a technical error in our database program, although the date for this report was corrected before our posting on April 22nd, 2016, the report, nevertheless, indicated a date of April 21st.

The flawed date should be corrected with our next posting. PD)).

Big Orange ball As I was driving home last night on Skyway area, I saw what looked like a comment, ((sic. comet??)) but it was really close, and then it disappeared. It was a big ball of fire.

You could see the orange on it, and then the Whitetail.

White lights in formation that changed formation. I came home home and looked up to the northwest and saw 6 bright lights in an "H" formation. Three on one side, three on the other.

Then they changed to a triangle . two lights with a light beneath. And another light beneath.

It got bright and faint then bright again. Several times. It was stationary.

Never moved. Very distinct. I called police.

I called a local radio station. No other reports but I saw it so clearly. Called a friend north of me and he said he thought he saw it too.

After about two hours boom, it was gone. A friend told me it was a reflection off power lines but no. It was too bright and distinct and changed shape!.

Full Report Text:

Three triangular objects with very, very bright lights moving in unison across the sky. Coming down 1-5 south around Everett, WA, we noticed three very bright star-like objects down over Seattle. They were spaced across the sky evenly apart from each other.

They stayed in that position for over 10 minutes or longer. Then they started moving in together and as they did, the far right one when way up in the sky, and the left one started moving far left to where they made a huge triangle in the sky. They stayed like that for about 3 minutes.

The top one disappeared upwards and the other two started moving to the far right and stayed together for a long time. Then they would disappear and re-emerge. It started getting light out and they all disappeared.

We tried to think that maybe they were helicopters, but they were in such precision, that is very doubtful. So they were definitely unidentified, but an exciting morning. I tried to take pictures but we were in a moving vehicle that didn't allow that to happed.

I would think lots of people saw this as they were driving down to Seattle from the north end.

Cigar shape with wings, the wings were, one on top of the craft the other on the bottom. It looked on fire or all lit up. It was visible for just 2 seconds, then it just disappeared.

I saw it while talking to a co-worker, he was facing me, and did not see it. I was facing South. By the time he turned and looked it was gone.

There was an airliner some distance above it, and there might have been one below it.
