Sumner, Washington UFO Sightings in 2015

Green fireball sweeps across the sky horizontally and vanishes Friday, December 4, 2015, at about 6:50 PM, I am pulling canvas off of a large Star I am making for Christmas. I walked back toward the house to get open the garage door to continue removing the tarp when I see a brilliant light move from East to West in the distance. It appears to be about 20 degrees above the horizon and covers about 30 degrees of the sky moving almost perfectly horizontally with just a slight curve for gravity.

It was only visible for two seconds and it appeared to vanish into a cloud. It was such a bright green color, I thought it was a roman candle until I noticed how far away it was. It had a dimmer orange tail.

It made no noise. I estimated it to be the size of a BB if held at arms length, but have no idea how big it really was. Years ago, I saw a boloid or large meteorite camping at Spirit Lake when I was a boy (before the mountain blew).

It was green as well but not as brilliant green as this. This also moved faster and seemed closer than something in space or in orbit.

Bright white light, flying extremely low and very low sound over Sumner, WA. About 9:15, went to the library with my dog. We had been seeing a large lop eared bunny in that area for a few nights.

My dog loves to chase squirrels and bunnies. She’s too old and fat to catch them but she enjoys the chase and it gives here exercise. Sky was dark, lots of stars, busy flight path (Sea-Tac Intl airport about 15 or so miles away).

It was warm out. I sat on a curb facing the Puyallup River (could be a different river name), that runs behind the library. Noticed a white light moving in the sky very high.

I could tell that it was moving because I could see movement through the leaves and branches of a big maple tree. I took some pics and only one showed the light and in the pic, it looks like a yellow orb but to my eye, it looked white. I moved into a large parking area free of trees to get a better look and it looked like a planet – it was not twinkling – just a white light high in the sky.

I was thinking that if one didn’t have a stationary object to use as a reference point, it would be very hard to realize that it was moving – one would probably think it to be a planet. I watched it for about 15 minutes and tried to take a video of it but it was not visible in the camera. Decided to go across the street and walk over to the field between the Post Office and Mc Lendon’s.

There had been a car parked in the library parking lot for two nights in a row while we were there and I wanted to keep distance from it. We began to reach the outer edge of the parking lot when I decided not to walk all the way to the field because I didn’t have my flashlight. I turned to walk back the way we came when an extremely bright white light, which appeared as a large white orb, very low in the sky, caught my eye.

It was very unusual. It seemed to be heading in our direction from the middle of town. I moved closer into the McLendon’s parking lot and turned on the recording button on the camera.

I could see it very well and it was bright but the recording didn’t show it as it looked to me and I couldn’t see it through the screen of the camera until it was very close. There had to be people that seen this thing! It was so low and bright, it had to have caught someone’! s attention. As it got closer, like almost to the AM PM, it clearly had 5 super bright lights in a row – shaped like princess cut diamonds that sparkled and one red slow blinking light underneath – funny, I did not see any structure to this object for how close it was.

It seemed to have a plane sound but very quiet sound of a plane – which didn’t make sense either. I felt like I had been standing there observing this thing for a long time and felt self conscious about it feeling this thing may be a ‘plane’ and here I am recording it in the parking lot, so I quickly turned the camera off after it passed in front of me. If it was a plane – it was the quietest plane I ever seen but then it did not have any structure of a plane.

Maybe those 5 bright white lights blinded my vision.? I wish I would have continued recording it to see if it got into the flight path. That’s another thing, I am an avid sky watcher in this town and have lived here over 18 years, I have seen a lot o! f things and I have never seen a plane fly the direction that ! it did…but who knows…watch the recording and let me know if you think you know what it is….

Thanks. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD)).

Bright orange/red spheres above Sumner, WA. Took dog for a walk. We were on our way back home, walking down Elm Street.

I turned to my left, looked up and seen a bright orange light in the sky. The brightness excited me because not many known aircraft are bright orange around here. The night was warm, the sky dark and clear, many stars out.

I thought to myself, that's super bright. Walked a few steps, looked again and it was coming in my direction. I had my binoculars in my bag as I am always watching the sky.

I looked thru them and could see that it was definitely bright orange and sphere shaped and was drifting in my direction. I watched it for about 30 seconds and it just disappeared. I thought to myself, 'that was weird'.

And continued walking for about 30 steps and looked back. There was another one or the same one??? It was further back then the last one I seen. So, I stop and look thru binoculars and it looks like the first one but has red tiny spots inside the sphere.

I lower the binoculars and suddenly another appears behind where it appeared. I am super curious now and watching the second one which is heading towards the same direction as the one before it. I'm not good with directions so all I can say is that they all appeared just above the flight path, above a field next to Mission Avacados, most of them appeared there, bright red and rose up above the horizon and moved to the east towards Lake Tapps area except one would always move in my direction.

One after another they would fade out and disappear. This time, I walked about 1/2 a block to the 4 way stop at Parker Rd & Elm and here's two more. I began watching them and then two more appeared.

The ones that closest to me, did not emit any sounds. None of them moved past me. This time one appeared directly across from one and began moving quickly to the other one - I thought! they would collide but it just moved directly underneath.

Then moved across so they looked like headlights, coming in my direction and then they disappeared, all of them gone. Sometimes, I get a little paranoid and to get to my apts, there is a big field and I was nervous about it. That's when I fell in a hole and scratched up both of my knees! We come around the corner and no lights.

I get in the apt and ask my daughter where the camera is and in my search for it out in the car, I see another bright orange light in the sky. I wanted to video it but once I found the camera it was too late. Throughout this sighting, I seen at least 3 airplanes flying about.

The very first observation of these lights was around 10:50 pm The last observation was about 11:25 pm. ;:.

LOW BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT CHANGES TO ORANGE. Around 11:45 pm on Thursday, June 4th. I wanted to go outside with the dog to cool off.

We walked out the front door of our apt and turned left. She was sniffing around for somewhere to pee, and I see this super bright light, low in the sky. The sky was dark, thin veil of clouds, could barely tell they were there.

Lots of stars out. This light was odd because it seemed to be located near the flight path, (Sea-Tac is about 15 miles away) and was extremely low-–lower than the planes flying. It looked like a bright white light and I couldn’t tell if it was moving.

Sometimes I get self conscious watching the sky because I can imagine what people think of me always watching the sky at night. My neighbors had their parents in their 5th wheel near where I was standing. I decided to get my binoculars out of the car and hoped I could see from there so that the neighbor’s parents couldn’t see me.

I could not see anything from the car so walked back to where I had been. At first, the light looked like one bright white light but as I watched it, it changed to a fiery orange. That’s when I noticed that it was moving very slowly.

I could tell because there is a row of decorative tall trees at the barrier of the apts and the mobile home park. The light was above the trees in the beginning but it moved to the left, then lowered a little so it was below the treetops and then moved to the right about 2 trees over. Once it cleared treetops again, it got very orange and at one point, through the binoculars, it looked almost like two headlights.

Problem is, I think the kids dropped my binoculars because it looks like double vision so not sure if what I seen was really how it looked. What was odd is that normally when I look through them, if I’m trying to zone in on a single light/star in the night sky these days; it looks like two but far apart. This light looked like two orange headlights close together, really close together.

It kept moving to the right now and it moved back to the left one more time and t! hen must have moved away from my sight beyond the trees because I never saw it come out either side or up over the trees again. This whole time, the dog was lying down in the grass and her rope was lying near my feet. Suddenly, a cat walked in front of us and the dog lunged to chase it and I nearly fell.

I decided to go in at that time which was about 12:10pm. This sighting lasted probably 10 to 15 minutes. It seems that somebody in our town had to have seen this.

I am thinking it was clearly visible near Sumner/Milton border. Many years ago when I lived on Wood Avenue, I had a most amazing sighting – the brightness of that light reminded me of this one as well as how low it was. That sighting lasted about 2 hours and it changed to green, blue and a most beautiful teal color.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Yes, Thursday, June 4th - sorry. ((END ADDENDUM)) ((NUFORC Note: We have amended the date of the sighting above. PD)).

2nd sighting of blue beam from sky in Sumner Friday evening, May 2, 2015, about 10 pm, checked night sky out my slider door and nothing caught my eye. I thought to myself that it has been a long time since something happened that was definitely unusual, almost no doubting that the sighting is 'different'. There were not many stars out and the sky was cloudy.

Saturday evening, May 3, 2015, I was in my room watching TV and decided to warm up my left over pizza. I was heating my pizza and checked the sky out the slider door and immediately seen a single blue light, flying about the altitude that a small plane would fly but it was emitting a blue beam angled downward. It wasn’t very far from my apt.

and coming my way. I grabbed the binoculars but this confused the situation as I think the kids dropped it recently because I seem to get two of things now. So, now it looked like two blue lights as if one were on each end of a wing.

Set binoculars down and was going to dart to the bedroom and get the camera but didn’t because it would probably be gone by the time I got back. Grabbed the binoculars again and now it was one red light flashing but the beam was still there. It was coming towards me so the front of the craft would be facing me and the beam shone out from its left side.

The beam was the same circumference from beginning to end and it ended or was not visible about half way to the ground. It didn’t sway/search but was one steady beam as if it were fixed. I tried to follow the beam with the binoculars but it would be invisible half way out from where it originated.

I only seen this for about 2 minutes and then it was nearly over the apt and out of sight. I could not make out any shape of whatever was emitting the beam. I was in the apt and could not hear a plane or helicopter sound.

This immediately reminded me of a similar sighting like this last year. However, I spotted the object for a longer period however the beam was exactly the same. It was flying basically over residential neighborhoods but there is a large field in between some housing filled with sheep and livestock.

I wondered last year if it was scoping out the livestock as well. There was a beautiful full moon out which made the sky very light/bright for midnight. There were not many clouds but since the sky was so light, it was hard to see many stars.
