NUFORC Sighting 147340

Occurred: 2019-07-05 00:04 Local
Reported: 2019-07-05 00:24 Pacific
Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Kent, WA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Passenger airplane has to make quick deviation to avoid collision with fireball shaped orb.

I had just submitted a report about 15 minutes before we saw this last fireball light. This fireball light was similar to the previous one I reported (fireball). It lifted above the horizon from the northeast, and slowly traveled south before stopping in the sky. We live close to Sea-Tac airport, and noticed it stoped in the flight path of departing airplanes to the west.

I filmed the object, and within 45 seconds a airplane came into the frame of video heading right towards the fireball shaped light. As the plane approached the light, it made a obvious and deliberate deviation away from the light. I have this on video. The airplane left the frame of video, while the fireball light remained. The light stayed visible for approximately 30 seconds more before vanishing.
