| Orange Orb in the eastern skies of Snohomish County An airstrip in Arlington, Wa. is about 5 miles north of the sighting to refer of a small cessna flying over my head after take-off in southbound direction to catch my attention. Being an avid airplane fan I allways look up at the sound of an airplane. When I saw the small plane fly overhead I saw a strange light due east of the plane about 10 miles, at an estimated altitude of 8000-10000ft. Intrigued I watched the light proceed west in the direction of the small plane. I assumed it was a commercial plane on approch to SEA-TAC international. So I continued to track it until it started to flicker behind the trees. So I waited to see if it would continue on it's flight path to the west. It did not reveal itself so I ran to the street for a better view, to find this bright orange light (once the size of a pinky nail, then the size of a small orb) within seconds it had accended to breaking the atmosphere to exit east of the original sighting. At that time, the light shot out some sort of trail ahead of it's direction to exit earths atmosphere. The best way to desciribe it, is a small meteor with a tail but it wasn't coming, it was going, then gone. This whole experience took place within a matter of seconds and I had no time to get a witness or a video recording. So I hope my testimony is enough to explain this very strange happening. For the record, being an avid fan of airplanes, means I know what type of aircraft are in the skies these days including possible (top secret) activity so I know exactly what I see in the sky 100 percent of the time... until now. |
