This is my second confirmed, and somehow knew it was about to take place!!?? We were observing from the East looking west. A craft from the west was travelling north bound. The craft was travelling rapidly and changed direction at a swift and steady pace and then travelled heading to the east.
This craft hovered oddly in the horizon, and brightly lit amber colored 5 orbs, in order arose from the horizon one at a time and eventually formed in a formation that my daughter could only described as a Nike swoosh. The bottom one disappeared first and in order from bottom to top disappeared (appeared to head north) with the final top one lasting approximately 30 seconds longer before it disappeared too.

Several sightings over Spanaway, WA of fireball objects with intentional direction of travel. First sighting was an odd almost flare looking item in the western sky heading east while there was still a bit of day light in the NW. The item had what appeared to be a canopy or wing hanging over the fire ball and did not lose altitude while turning to the southern skys and cruised at a methodical speed until finally disapearing altogether.
Several more appeared from the east and took the same path with at one time, four were visible heading in the same direction before dissapearing a few seconds within one another. Over the course of the night a few more appeared, however not as close in location and were off in the distance.

v shaped object near mcchord afb on this particular evening at the end of june at 11:34p.m. i looked north in the night sky.
this would put pacific avenue to my right and mcchord afb to my left. looking up i saw a v shaped object with six red lights moving slowly almost directly above me. upon initial examination i could immediately tell that the space in the middle of the craft was empty because i could see stars in this space.
the space between the lights was black. it moved silently from west to east. the craft wasn't big, just a little larger than a fight plane.
it's elevation was no more 1,000 ft. i was born and raised in tacoma, having seen many military aircraft in the skies. none of the objects i have seen in my life have looked like this nor have any aircraft i have seen operated silently.
((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

shooting star like object that gets really close and moves up and down then shoots off without a noise! I was sitting on my back porch last night and something caught my eye which looked like a shooting star at first. It started off dim and then got brighter but unlike a shooting star which fades fast it kept getting brighter and closer as close as a plane in the nights sky and then slowed down. It had a reddish amber glow which emenated an aura around it.
It moved irradically up and down and diagonal then before I could call my wife out to see it, it shot across the horizon as fast as a shooting star and then disappeared without a noise. I have never seen a plane move like that before and the direction and speed of travel was out of this world. I was shocked so I sat outside to perhaps see it again and I did see a star which started to move like a sattelite but was much brighter.
It was super bright and moved very slow across the night sky from the point of the big dipper East towards the mountains. This was different than what I had seen earlier but still pretty cool. It seemed to get brighter and brighter filling the night sky and then dimmed fast and out of sight.
Not that It was past the horizon to where I couldnt see it any longer because when it had dimmed it was right above me. Very strange. I guess I need to focus on the stars more often because you can see crazy stuff.
I notice that more and more u.f.o sightings are happening more regularly I wonder if 2012 end of the world hooplah has something to do with more and more u.
f.o sightings. I guess I won't know until 2013.
