SIGHTING: SUMNER, WA, UNITED STATES

Witness Testimony

"Was stargazing with my husband. We thought we had spotted a satellite. Then there was another following close behind. We thought it strange and assumed it must be high flying jets. Then they flew 4x faster and darted in sync with one another....in a circle back. they made a figure 8 and looked as if they collided, They became brighter when closer together. Then darted off in opposite directions. My husband and I continued following them with our eyes. We thought we were watching the same one, because as we were describing their motions, they were doing the exact same thing. Then they came back together and became much brighter, directly above us, yet still incredibly distanced. Then like a snowflake falls, it fell towards us, in a straight downward motion. it became larger than a planet and appeared more yellow and blue, to the original red and white we had first spotted. We said, its coming down, its coming down! and then it halted, and hovered, yet we heard no sound. It darted straight back up with intense speed, and was once again a tiny spec. The spec once again divided into two smaller lights. They continued on making impossible swoops and dives, almost bird like, yet the speed and random thrust of it, was impossible to comprehend, even mechanically. My husband lost sight of his, but was able to find mine, while i used hand motions to show their exact flight pattern. An aircraft flew by, and i became worried of what might happen. All of a sudden, the little light exploded into 5 more lights, and darted towards the plane, then banking level to and then upward above it. They once again flew in a figure 8, and combined with one another. They darted over our houses, and far into the distance in the opposite direction we had been noticing them in. Then made a 90 turn towards the right and jutted out from one another,they made it back to where we had first spotted them, then combined again into 1. it zigged and zagged back and forth, almost like it was trying to write letters. we continued watching for one more minute, while it did the impossible... and turned to the house to report it. Haven't checked back to see if its still there....yet."
