Glowing orange elliptical object witnessed by 4 people in Renton, WA

UFO sighting in Renton, WA at approximately 10PM Friday night August 3, 2012

My husband and I were completing our block watch rounds in our neighborhood. It was completely dark except for the street lights. I looked up and saw an orange glowing elliptical object moving silently above the roof tops. I alerted my husband, and he saw it, too.

The object was approximately half the size of a full moon when directly overhead. It moved at about the speed of a small plane and appeared to be at the same altitude as a small plane. It appeared from the north and moved in a southerly direction until we could no longer see it. The sighting lasted approximately 30 seconds. Although the object looked as if it were on fire, there was no smoke or smell. It moved steadily with no sound.

Our neighbor and her daughter-in-law were driving out of our complex, and we stopped them and had them observe the object, also.

I looked on line and determined the wind that night was out of the north at 5 to 10 mph. I called 911 and reported the sighting.

My husband and I are in our early 60s, we’re both college graduates, and we’re retired.




NUFORC Note:

We spoke via telephone with these witnesses, and they sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. PD
