I woke up to go to the bathroom at 5 o'clock in the morning. After I finished, I looked out my window and saw this glowing light. It was to bright and to big to be a star.
The light was pulsing on and off. I was rubbing my eyes to make sure this was real. After 5 minutes of me watching, it disappeared.
Then, after that, I stayed up for about 45 minutes, looking into the sky. Then I eventually fell asleep, not seeing the object again. The object looked like it had 5 separate lights almost like an atom particle.
The light it produced was white, like any standard light bulb color you can find in the store.
Full Report Text:
12+ blinking, pulsing, and darting around lights at varied distances for 5+ hours after power outages and less light pollution. There were several circular, blinking lights in the sky. Some were reddish in hue that blinked and pulsed white and very, very quickly--a greenish light.
There was a bright gold star-like light that moved then was hovering over the area. There were three to four white, blinking lights that seemed to be aware that I was watching them. When I waved at them, hoping they would be able to see me, their movements became more rapid and longer in distance.
During the three hours I was walking around in and out of the Hangman Hills neighborhood, I saw five to six "shooting stars". However, I realized after the third one that they were moving a bit slowly to be shooting starts, and I believe that they were craft, dipping in and out of perhaps our dimension, or perhaps my disbelief and excitement prohibited me from being able to perceive them for a prolonged amount of time. As I continued watching, different craft would become "seen" by me that were closer and closer to me.
I truly believe that they wanted to be seen and the whole experience was very peaceful, calm and loving.

2 objects East of Spokane pulsed for over an hour 10-31-2015 4 am to 5 am East of Spokane, there appeared quantity (2) two objects. The two objects glow, then would pulse and expand to 4 objects each. and return to two objects ,(not a airplane strobe) Objects appear to be much larger than a star.
The two objects did not move, the spread when pulsing was much greater than dirty atmosphere reflection would explain. the two objects pulsed every 4 seconds I watched for about an hour ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Saw one green fireball zoom downward. While driving south on Wall Street towards downtown Spokane, I saw green ball of light starting about 45 degrees up from the horizon, zooming down to horizon in less than 2 seconds and disappeared. I would call it a "fireball" because it was much bigger than a star or the meteors I've seen.
((NUFORC Note: We suspect a meteor. PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Plane Vs UFO This last summer me and my son were on the roof star gazing, facing west we saw the red orb type ufo fly from northwest to southeast, then a second or few later it flew back northwest from the southeast direction until it disappeared. What I believed makes this sighting so great is that we saw a passenger plane flying about 2000k ft. below the ufo(the ufo was extremely high in the sky) so we could get a real reference of how fast the ufo was going which was a lot faster than the plane at a much higher altitude.

Father and son witness two highly-reflective, disk-shaped craft, in the southeastern sky of Spokane. Telephoned Report: An adult male contacted the UFO Hotline, and reported that he and his adult son had witnessed two highly-reflective, perhaps disk-shaped, objects in the southeastern sky, as viewed from the City of Spokane. The caller described himself as a serious amateur astronomer, having once used a hard-mounted 10-inch reflector telescope.
He stated that he had never witnessed such a phenomenon. ((NUFORC Note: Neither witness has submitted a written, detailed, report, and the caller has not responded to multiple calls to his telephone number. PD)).

Reddish-orange light over downtown Spokane, WA. I was sitting in the park with my friend, stargazing. I suddenly saw a reddish orange light moving over downtown Spokane from what looked like the east.
It seemed too fast for a regular plane and as soon as I pointed it out, it curved hard towards south south-west, directly away from my pointing finger, and kind of corkscrewed, until we couldn't see it anymore. About 5-7 minutes later, a plane appeared, taking almost the same path as the light, but much slower. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Bright light in front of cloud east of Spokane Hi, My husband and I enjoy listening to Peter on Coast to Coast, but I never figured I would be sending in a report. I actually live in Spokane, north of Fairchild, down in the canyon… so not too far from Peter. Yesterday, Tuesday, June 9th, I was heading into work eastbound on Hwy 2 towards I-90.
I was watching the geo engineering in the eastern sky, as there were three planes that I could see at the time that were spraying. At about 7:45 just before I got to the I-90 ramp I saw something bright and round in front of a cloud, north of the three planes. Honestly I have never seen anything like this before.
It was much larger than a star and much brighter than one. It was round and just incredibly bright. It did not move at all, just pulsated bright.
I watched it for about 10 seconds, then it disappeared into the cloud behind it.

Yellowish orange sphere. For the past week, on and off, we have seen two orange spheres with lights moving slowly in the sky. They move from south to northwest then to east.
Full Report Text:
Flat shaped white light traveling fairly slow, with a long trail of red and white tail, almost like what u would see from a plane. Had sparkling dust like lights within the trail mist. And had small sparkling white lights following, that would fade and come back.
Possibly a BIG meteor, but deff not anything I have ever seen. Was like a giant slow moving shooting star with lots of color. Almost beautiful!! ((NUFORC Note: Re-entering Chinese 3rd-stage rocket casing.
PD)).
