Duration: 3 sec
No of observers: 1

Location: Seattle, WA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

3 lights travelling across western sky

I was facing almost due west. I looked up to see 3 lights, flying parallel to each other in a line, apparently from SE to NW. They appeared pretty high. By the time I saw them, they were about at the center of my view. I approx. 3 seconds, they traveled about 3 inches(arms length) until my view of them was obstructed by a building.

NUFORC Note:

Possibly U. S. Navy "NOSS" satellites, although satellites almost never have a westerly component to their groundtrack. If, in fact, the objects were moving to the northwest, they were not satellites. PD
