Full Report Text:
At approx 9:40 PM in Tacoma, WA, my wife noticed a red/orange flashing lights flying through the sky between the clouds.
This was usual because at our location we see planes flying at night all the time and know what they look like. Besides I build them for a living for many years.
This object was also traveling noticeably fast. Very cool to see and very intriguing.
Full Report Text:
Bright Red lights in eastern sky.
We were out watching the eclipse and saw these red lights crossing the sky like nothing I've ever seen, I've lived next to McCord AFB all my life and these were no planes it scared my daughter we eat he'd them go from South to north we first noticed them t the left of the moon and watched them until they were outta view.
They were flying side by side in pairs of 2.
Full Report Text:
5 red objects stationary, not resembling lights, planes, or fireworks. One move downward and over. Then two went toward horizon and over mountains.
Then the remaining two stayed a bit longer and finally disappeared.
Full Report Text:
Two, dark black triangle shaped objects in eastern sky in Tacoma, WA.
Two, dark black triangle shaped objects were seen by my wife and myself in the eastern sky from our home on 22nd ave in Tacoma. Both objects flew in a fast zig-zag motion for a few minutes, then both shot straight up into the sky and vanished.
The objects seemed to be about a few hundred feet away and looked to be the size of a small plane.
I am a 56 year old male and work in the lumber industry, and my wife is a 53 year old nurse.
Full Report Text:
Green light thought to be plane traveled across the sky in half a second. Then back across the sky in the direction it came from. Hovered for about 3 seconds, dropped.
Shot back up hovered. The green light turned red then green again hovered then dropped and disappeared.
Full Report Text:
Unlighted dark cylindrical object with disintegrating lower portion--silent, unpropelled.
Seemed to be 1000 plus feet altitude. Unlighted, dark object, long, cylindrical---seemed solid.
Quiet, did not seem to be propelling itself.
At one point, around 2 minutes, it seemed to be shedding off lower portions of itself, disintegrating downward, but retained its solid shape afterward.
It diminished in size, apparently moving north eastward toward Auburn.
Full Report Text:
At 12:25 p.m in Tacoma WA.i was sitting outside looking into the beautiful sky and I noticed a black disk coming out of the clouds very slowly (very distinct ) as my mind was processing what I'm seeing this disk makes like a z shape and then shoots up towards the sky this disk was very low 5-7 thousand feet.
when I went to get my phone to the video section it had flown off.this was so surreal. i have not stopped thinking of this all day.
Full Report Text:
Star like object, did not move, lights did not flash, there were probably at least 8 lights on it.
I always look outside before I go to bed, and at 10 pm, I looked out and saw a large star like shape, dominantly red with white lights across Puget Sound looking toward Gig Harbor, (we are on the ridge looking over at Gig Harbor with Puget Sound between it).
The UFO did not move, but the lights glowed, as I watched for 10 minutes, and then went to bed.
I was a bit frightened as I had not seen anything like this before and did not go outside. I thought it was a clear night, thought I did not see any stars, only the object in the sky. I am quite sure it was not a star.
It was quite large.
I am continuing to look outside each night in hope of seeing this object again.
