No of observers: 2

Location: Everett, WA, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

In the early evening at around 8pm, we noticed a white light in the sky. It seemed too bright to be a star and appeared to be slowly moving west. As it moved closer, we were able to see about 3 flashing lights that made us think it might be a small plane. However, the craft seemed to just stop in the sky. Then my son said it "took off" at a high rate of speed and disappeared. Then, once we were closer to home about 10 minutes later (as I was telling my son it was an airplane) I saw about 4 more (the flashing lights made me think they were planes, but then their flight pattern and hovering would say they weren't). My son then tells me he sees a large one behind a true. As I'm driving west toward my home, I see an object with three bright round lights (in a row) at about only 25 feet above my house. As I got closer, it was gone (the darkness made it difficult to see a shape...though you could see there was something definately behind the lights.
