Two Circular Uniformly Sized White Objects Travelling Parallel To The Horizon NNE of Yakima Washington Here is what I saw: At 7:05 P.M.on 10-27-15, I was sitting outside on my patio in Yakima Washington.
It was dark outside. The sky conditions were mostly cloudy and the nearly full moon had not yet arisen. I saw two distinct white round objects about 30 degrees above the horizon in the NNW part ofthe sky.
They were of the same light intensity and size. They moved for about two seconds almost parallel to the horizon in a ENE direction. One object moved in a somewhat skewed trajectory from the trajectory of the other.
They were about the size in diameter 10 times the size of the average distant star. Their speed was about 10 times that of a big plane you would see going overhead. They traveled about 10 degrees across the sky in the two seconds.
There was no streaming breakup of material as a falling meteorite would show before it disintegrated. This sighting was certainly not two planes, and if it were meteors, they were travelling at the wrong angle to the earth (almost parallel) and were the most uniform equally sized circular meteorites I have ever seen. I hope someone else witnessed this.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke at length via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite serious and sober-minded. He described the event in a very eloquent, factual manner, and emphasized how bizarre the event looked to be. PD)).

White ball of light from south to north My husband and I were sitting outside about 9 PM when we noticed 8 aircraft flying in formation from east to west. There was also a helicopter flying around the Yakima area at the same time. All of a sudden we saw a flash of orange/red light fall out of the sky and head in the northern direction.
It fell like a meteor only it took on the shape of a teardrop as it dropped in the north, turning white. We saw one last evening 9/10 only it was white the whole time.

Yellow orb, fades to red over Yakima. First: I realize there is meteor activity lately and I am sure it is not such. I had just walked out of my house and looked up.
At first I did see a plane BUT after changing view, see a glowing yellow orb. I call out a friend and they started recording with their phone. For a short time the orb bobbled up & down with faded ghostly fume like prongs on it, 3 of them.
Then the orb faded off into the sky east turning red. All above WV Yakima. I have also seen this exact report a few days ago.

One big light going straight then looked like it was spinning, near miss to a plane flying by. I went outside for a smoke and saw this bright circular light looking like a satellite but very much lower and very bright. It first went straight to the east and then it started moving like it was out of balance (drunk).
Then coming from the west was a plane heading to Sea Tac and I thought was a near miss to the plane. I yelled if anyone else can see it but no response, so I ran in side for my girlfriend to run out, when I ran back it was gone, damn I should have stayed out the whole time. Also check the flight logs of SeaTac traffic and see if any passengers in that plane witness what I saw, someone on that plane had to see what I saw, have too!!! One more thing the light was on the whole time.
