Black triangle, no lights. Flying must faster than commercial plane or heliocopter. W to E.

Black triangle flying from Tacoma towards Mount Rainer (West to East direction). Flying over head very high. Thought it was an eagle at first because is was small and looked like it was soaring like an eagle. As it came closer and over head, I realized it was some sort of air craft. Looked like a black triangle. No wings or lights. I did hear the air craft sounds, like a plane flying overhead. Total time of sighting was appx 30 second or less. Flying opposite of regular SEATAC air traffic. And not flying the North/South route smaller planes and helicopters mostly take.

Unusually low lights that broke up and flashed about 20 minutes in Sumner, WA

May 22, 2017 Yesterday was a beautiful warm day. The sky was clear with patchy clouds here and there. As it began getting dark, I was disappointed because as usual, the sky was overcast, and not many stars could be seen.

Maybe around 11pm, I was outside having a smoke and looking up to the sky. Night before last, within about 10 minutes, I seen what I think were satellites. Two separate tiny white lights, like specks, no flashing or any other colors just steady white light zoom across the sky.

Tonight, all of the sudden I see one solid white speck of light but it's much lower than the two that I seen the night before. Travelling fast, steady white light. I grab the camera but my screen is broken so I can't see what I'm aiming at. Pointed it in the direction of the light which I can see with my eyes but it's already a bit away from me. I did manage to capture a few seconds of it on video but the quality is poor.

I had some house chores to do and made a late dinner. Remembered that I needed to send an email with photos attached so went upstairs to do so. I'm borrowing a computer from a friend and not used to Windows 10 and had to figure out how to download the pics from my camera. And I got sidetracked...

Next thing I know, it's almost 4am! I turn off the tv and look outside and quickly notice a super bright orange light in the flight path but it seems to be descending. It was very low, grabbed the camera and pointed in it's direction. Then a bright white light comes from same direction and looks to be slowing down. I took five separate videos because the lights were busy - doing something for probably 20 minutes. Two of those videos did not come out. You can hear me on them but no video was recorded until the last few seconds of one. I was surprised and almost couldn't believe what I was seeing. All together, I think there was at least four lights - low, and they would break into different lights flashing - at one point, the first two lights were making a cross of red, yellow and blue flashing very quickly but that doesn't show on the video. I'm a bit embarassed of the quality of my video - it's extremely poor - Canon Powershot, video taken outside my upstairs bedroom win! dow through the screen. Diidn't have another angle accessible for viewing. Got just a bit nervous towards the end of videoing because a couple of the lights seemed to flash close. Don't know how to describe but my friend and I have captured many videos in the past and sometime when capturing unusual lights - it might not be noticed by the person filming at the time, but upon reviewing, it will seem like the light(s) will suddenly come up on you quick. Oh, and my cat kept getting in the way. In one of the videos, there's a weird sound, otherwise, it was quiet outside. I'm estimating some people around the Sumner, Pacific, Edgewood areas HAD TO HAVE SEEN THESE. I have no idea how low they were but from where I was watching, the lights were below. I almost called the cops because I've heard of other people doing that - to see if anyone else had called but it was after 4 am and didn't want to sound like a crack pot.

I was heading into the woods around 6:00 am on October 29, 2016. I noticed a reddish orange light in the northern sky about 20 to 25 degrees above the horizon. I watched it for about 5 minutes and it did not appear to be moving. It suddenly disappeared and I never saw it again. It was clear that morning with no clouds in any direction that I could see.

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.

Location: Sumner, WA, USA

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

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.

Yes, Thursday, June 4th - sorry.

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.

Fireball changing speed and direction witnessed by two near Sumner, IA. Second sighting at this location

Upon walking out of a house to get to my car, I looked at the stars and noticed movement. Around 500 yds from ground and over a mile away was a red-orange fireball moving North, then SW and stopped.

I asked a friend to look for anything odd in the sky, and the witness immediately noticed, stating this was the second time he saw a fireball at this location within a month. Using hunting binoculars, I was able to steady the view to confirm that the fireball was moving quickly once again. I did this by focusing the binoculars on a star, then witnessing the red light cross the star and continue going.

Witness and I watched the light change course, from going N/NE to slowing, then heading W for a short distance before regaining course N, until the fireball was behind the treeline.

Calm and clear night in a rural area, the object didn't make any noise.

possible plane with beam

Saturday evening June, 7th, 2014, I went out to dinner by myself. I got home around 11pm. It was warm, clear sky with visible stars. I think I saw only one thing in the sky.

It was about 11:05 pm. I was sitting on the patio having a smoke while the dog and cat sat with me. I noticed what I figured was a plane come from the east. I figured it was a small plane from one of the homes near Lake Tapps or Buckley area as it was flying pretty low. I did not hear a plane sound though. It was cruising at a pretty good speed.

I grabbed my binoculars and could see a green light at one end and a red at the other which again is what made me think it was a small plane although I could not actually see a shape. I set the binoculars on the table in front of me and looked back to the sky and could not find it again. That seemed strange cuz it was not flying ‘that’ fast and the sky was clear. I searched and searched.

Grabbed the binoculars again but still could not find it. I put my cigarette out and suddenly seen a flashing light coming in my direction now and it had a beam emitting from it. It was a weird beam in that I could see it coming from the object and followed its trajectory but it fazed out in the middle of the trajectory and it could hardly be seen as it aimed closer to the ground.

The object went right over my apartments but the beam seemed slanted and then they were gone.

I’m not sure what it was but as it passed over the apt. it hardly made a sound.

3 Bright White lights or one bright light jumping around.

Last night, March 30, 2014, about 8:30pm, I was checking the sky, as I often do. The sky was dark, not raining and from what I could tell – very sparse clouds.

I did a scan of the sky. As I began to turn away from the slider door, something flashed very brightly in the sky. It was a white light and looked like it blinked red as well. I figured it was a plane but I keep my binoculars next to the slider door so I grabbed them. It took me a few moments to find it again. Once I did, it seemed as though it was not near the same area as I had first sighted it.

So I have the binoculars up against the glass for stability and to help from letting light onto the door from the living room. I am watching and suddenly it/they begin blinking in different areas. It/they were maybe below the flight path or else it/they were further away–it was hard to tell.

I got excited because I was stationary and it/they were jumping around, it seemed as though there could have been three or else it was one and it was jumping around. The lights seemed to be very bright white light that really shone a ways, I believe that I seen a blue light at one point. I went outside (had to have my daughter hold the kitten so that she wouldn’t get outside) to get a better look.

It/them did seem further away but still jumping. I had to go back inside because my daughter yelled at me to come back in because the kitten was going crazy and wanted outside.

The whole sighting lasted about 15 minutes.

Black, triangle, batman shaped object flew several hundred yards in front of vehicle in an almost arc motion was witnessed approx 3 sec

While driving on southbound I-5 right before the 410 on ramp between Sumner, WA. and Puyallup, WA. on the early morning hours of August 17th, approximately 2:00 AM, my wife and I witnessed a large black, almost triangle shape object fly through the sky from east to west of our peripheral view at what appeared to be very close.(maybe a couple hundred yards away) It sounds nuts but it was almost a large batman shape.(the man not the logo) My wife and I then asked each other if we had both seen something strange to verify, to find out yes we had both seen something indeed. About 30 minutes later when we had arrived home(still confused and pale faced) we both sat down in different rooms and made a drawing of what we saw. Both pictures were quite simple and similar. We later talked about details and came to the agreement that it had no lights and little detail. Since it was dark and we were doing freeway speeds we only saw it for about 3 seconds to watch it disappear into a valley with houses behind the blocking guard rail.

15 orangey/red spheres in a 3/D circle/hexagon shape with each disaappearing within minutes of sighting.

November 4th, 2011 approx. 19:00 hour driving North/Northeast in Sumner Washington saw 15 orangey/red glowing spheres in a 3D/hexagon/circle shape. As I was watching them they sarted desappearing (saw eight as I turned the corner).

About a mile down the road there were 4 people standing on the side of the road and a car stopped looking toward the sky were I saw them.

I stopped and asked did you see what I saw "about 15 orangey/red glowing lights". Answer: Yes but, we counted 20 when we first saw them and then the lights starting disappearing and now they are gone.

To the right and left of the objects (much farther North) were commercial airliners descending into Sea-Tac. (planes were stacked and had white lights).

5 lights hover in a circle around one odd shaped lighted object in Sumner, Washington

Upstairs looking out my bathroom window, warm evening, scattered, thin clouds that you can see through in the dark-otherwise the night sky was clear in spots. Looking to my left towards town, lots of airplanes in the flight path, one right after another~probably 3 heading towards Sea-Tac International Airport. I look to the right after hearing someone talking kind of loud and excited.

I see 2 lights in the sky very low and bright. As I lean out my window to get a better look, suddenly I see 3 more, they're spaced as if in a circle around 1 different looking thing. I figured the 5 positioned around the center light must be those low flying 'planes' (that hardly make any noise at all). All of them seemed to hover including the center one. They weren't very high in the sky either, lower than planes fly (by the way, they weren't in or near the flight paths) and I'm not hearing anything other than cars going by and loud voices.

My binoculars are old and they don’t get real clear images but the center light especially should’ve been easy to see if I had good binoculars! Anyway, they all sit there for about 3 or 4 minutes and then the center one starts heading to the left. At this point the lights on it looked as though it could be a saucer shape 2 big white lights with a thin blue light behind them with 2 other smaller lights next to the big ones but spread out a little. When it leaned to its right to leave, it got very, very bright. Once accelerating in that direction, it looked like 2 round sections-one on top of the other - one light white and the other a pinkish purple but very soft. I believe they were flashing as it came by pretty close, maybe a couple of blocks away heading towards Edgewood sort of diagonally. Half way there it began jerking back and forth very quickly maybe 3 times and then continued on. After it got by the Yeast Plant it then looked like it was made up of 4 sections that were staggered and they were all a goldish-white almost amber. Turned to look at the other 5 lights and one was already moving in the same direction but was closer to me. It too got very bright as it banked to follow the other one. As it went by, it looked to me like a Thunderbird design. Can't really explain it that well but could draw it. I didn't think about watching the others, not sure if they were still there but wanted to call someone to see if other people had called it in. I figured there were a lot of calls, it being early evening and all the cars I heard go by and the voices I heard must've been watching them too but the officer sounded surprised when I asked him if anyone had called in about them. He said nobody else had called other than me! That really surprises me - I don't know what they were but I really got the feeling at first when I seen this, was that they're actually letting themselves be known. There has been so many things happening around here for months that we can't explain.

I don't know if this really covers everything I watched because I am so excited and needed to get this written quickly for future reference.

One more thing that has been happening around here for maybe 3 or 4 months, we hear loud popping noises kind of like it sounds if you live close to a military base practicing, sounds like artilliary. But we're too far away to be hearing that, never heard it before and it's at all different times of day and sometimes night, like right now (21:05). They stopped for about 2 weeks recently but started again on Sunday.

Flashing 'star'-like objects near Sumner, WA

10:03pm Upstairs looking out my bathroom window with the binoculars. Within a minute or so, I noticed a flashing ‘star’ above the tree line of North Hill Puyallup. As I watched it, it flashed red, blue and white, maybe green once in awhile. It resembled a star except that it was very low in the sky, much lower than airplanes (Sea-Tac International Airport and Auburn Airport are near the vicinity). I wasn’t sure if it was moving so I braced myself against the side of the window. It slowly began to move to the right. I could tell it was by counting the tree tops, after it moved over the 5th tree, it either lowered or else it was moving further away than I thought and began flashing mainly red and white and the white was extremely bright. I lowered the binoculars and noticed that I could not see it without them. I decided to scan the skies above the light and seen two airplanes or else they were two of the ’helicopters' or some type of aircraft we’ve been seeing a lot of for a few months. These usually flash red and green with a white light -like a headlight in the center and the colored lights are one at either side as if on wings, (these crafts are seen every night in this area and they do not make any noise that I can think of - they fly very low at times but one cannot make out a shape. One night two of them were so low that I thought for an instant that they were street lights and when one of them left the area, it was flying below the roof tops of the businesses across the street from my house!) Anyway, the two airplanes were high above the flashing star and seemed to criss-cross, they were both in the flight path (going opposite directions). This is when I noticed another very bright flashing light closer to me which was just below the flight path and flashing mainly red and white. It began jerking back and forth quickly for about 4 seconds and then quickly began to move off to the right, past the cell tower across the street from my house heading for Auburn. I checked back for the first ’star’ and it was still flashing mainly white very far off. By this time, it was about 10:08pm, that’s when I went downstairs to write this report. There has been so much going on in this area (Sumner) for months and we have some pretty incredible video footage shot a few weeks ago out my bedroom window, looking towards the football field. Actually, we have quite a few stories and good video of at least four sightings.

Tiara shaped cluster of lights and a single light departing from it toward the ground.

I was driving NW on 5th in Sumner WA toward the bridge over the Puyallup River when I noticed a group of lights in the sky above and slightly to the left of my position. This group of lights were clustered in the shape I would describe as a tiara or crown.

As i looked at this appearent object a single light departed from the object and descended toward the ground at a sharp angle, looking very much under control- moving steadily on in a straight line toward the Earth. I pulled over to the side of the road, afraid that I might lose sight of the object and rolled down my car window. The object had been pulsing slowly brighter then dimmer at a slow but steady pace during my observation of it and seconds after I stopped it faded into the clouds. I remained for a couple minutes to see if it might emerge again, but I saw nothing more.

Odd lights and shapes in Sumner, Washington

I can't fully explain the video I just watched that my friend shot last night near the Post Office in Sumner Washington. All I can say is it was a windy, dark night but the air was warm. She has caught something on film that is not all reflections of light - the shapes turn to beakers, rectangles, and squares - one definite blue ball and seems when they get near the lights on the poles, those lights get very bright. We need someone to watch this nearly hour video to get their opinion. At one point a light turns red in the sky, blurs and then suddenly becomes a silver bar. There is also a purple light that shows up too. The camera also was exhibiting different characteristics while filming - PLEASE CAN SOMEONE GET IN TOUCH WITH US! I have the video here but trying to figure out how to send it to you.

Location: Sumner, WA, USA

Shape: Sphere


Bright silver sphere seen in skies above Sumner, Washington-then disappears.

It was a clear day, not a cloud in the sky and was around 80 degrees. My daughter and I had just stopped at McDonalds and were heading home on Main Street in Sumner, Washington. As we reached the traffic light at Wood Avenue, the light turned red. We were stopped behind one car and had a view of the down town area. I looked down the street and up to the sky and seen a silver sphere high in the sky. It was gleaming cuz the sun was reflecting off of it which had caught my eye. I'm not sure if it was rotating but I got the feeling it was. I am not sure of the distance but seemed to be close to the flight pattern the airplanes travel on their way to Sea-Tac International Airport. Just as I was going to bring it to my daughter's attention - it disappeared. One minute it was there, shining brightly and the next it was gone. This is the second time I've seen a bright silver, sphere disappear in the skies but the first time was in August of this year while we were in Dresslerville, Nevada. At that time, my daughter seen it too however it disappeared to me but she swears she still could see it at which time we turned left away from the object - that day was also clear, no clouds and around 90 degrees. I've had many questionable sightings but one amazing sighting in June of 1975 in Bonney Lake, Washington coming down Highway 410 into Sumner. That also was a bright sunny day without any clouds. This craft was silverish and saucer shaped but with a dome on top. At the bottom of the dome was huge bright lights that reminded me of strobe lights, blinking around the bottom of the dome. My stepdad (non-believer) brought it to my attention and as I looked out of driver's side window I was totally astonished to see this. This craft stayed nearly parallel with us as we almost reached the 2nd exit to Sumner. It sped up and was over the Rivergrove apartments when it just vanished. This sighting lasted about 10 minutes and I've been searching the skies ever since.

At 09:21 I saw what is referred to as a daylight Disk. The sky was fifty percent overcast. the clouds were cumulus, big,white and puffy. The sky that you could see between the clouds was very blue. The clouds were not moving fast they were approximately 7000 ft. I was by myself loading boxes in a pick up truck when the daylight halfmoon caught my eye, it was standing out very bright in the western sky. As I stood there looking at the moon something moving three fingers blow the moon really set me back a bit. It was a Disk in shape very smooth and luminated like a flourescent bulb. It was moving south, I was looking up at a 45 degree angle. I watched it for about 4 sec then it went behind a cloud, I thought it was over but it came out the other side of the cloud I watched it for about 3 more sec and then it made a wide arc to the west and disapeared. I am a pilot and I shoot aerial photos. I know aircraft when I see them. If anyone else saw this please report.

The caller and her two daughters were driving home when they noticed that the stars were moving in the sky. They could see two stationary stars in the eastern sky.

The mother said that they could see many "craft" in the sky, which appeared to be points of light. There were two large lights, and a "whole bunch" of little lights nearby.

The lights they were looking at were both white, and others were blue. They were clearly different from the stars.

The lights were moving from their right to left. They detected no sound.

The mother and two daughters live way out in the country at the end of a long driveway. They were about 3 miles south of Highway 50.



The mother and her two daughters got back into the car, after which the small lights were gone, with only the larger one still present. the large light then simply zipped off.

Appointment of a Ambassador to earth's neighbors.
The Ambassador will do public relations for the people they must stay calm.
The government is scared, if your afraid of something you reject it.
The Army Air Defense had to handle that landing in 1995.
We need a Ambassador to handle the next landing.
They fly by fluid ion drive the bright light red or green or white is a plasma shielding made possible by two anodes one on top one underneath. Basically silent running except when they fly over trees with leafs. The ions hit the leafs making a popping crackling sound. Putting holes in leafs with one heck of a racket you would of had to be their.

Summary : 5 objects seen over Sumner WA June of 1967. Objects hovered very close to ground and shined lights.

My grade school friend and I witnessed these objects when we were 11 years old. We were at Fred's parents house (not his real name), planning to sleep in their front yard. I know this is a long time to go before reporting this to anyone, but I did not know where to till I saw this site on the Internet. We were on the front lawn about 2100 in our sleeping bags checking out the sky, valley ect. My friends house has a panoramic view of trhe Puyallup Valley, Orting Valley, and Mt. Rainier. We were startled to see a formation of lights (v shaped, 5 objects) moving from the direction of Auburn (to the north) to dontown Sumner. Te objects were orange in color with a sort of bluish aura or halo around them. They were silent. When they reached the city, they dimmed but were still visible and began to shine lights on the ground and houses. they were all spread out in the south east part of the city shining lights. Again, there was no sound. After about 10-15 minutes of this, they reformed their v shaped formation and flew directly over our heads (height was hard to judge) fairly slowly, then accelerated out of sight towards Tacoma. there are more storie from this period of time in the Puyallup Valley. I don't know if you or anyone else has investigated this period of time (1961-1970) in the south Puget Sound, but I have other stories from people who's neighborhoods were visited, where craft had landed (seen by officials) and other reports of "craft".
