Flaming silent object near joint military base JBLM in south Tacoma.
Seen out a north facing window. Appeared as a large, balled up sheet of paper on fire, and was moving rapidly south, just east of I-5.
I ran outside and saw it continue southward silently at about sixty mph. It neither slowed down, nor speed up. It traveled straight and level and, as I wrote before, was completely silent.
The weird thing-as though that wasn't weird enough-was that the orange glow and subdued flames were not streaming behind it. The flames/glow were as if it was actually a stationary object even though it was traveling through the air (as I wrote) at about sixty mph. It soon disappeared behind a tall stand of firs, where I lost track of it.
