Large sphere shaped light swaying and bobbing over the Puget Sound.

At approx. 7:55 pm My Brother-in-law called me outside. There was a super bright red-orange light that seemed to be between 5 - 10 miles to our southwest hovering in the air. It looked about 20 times bigger that an airplane light at the same distance. It was bobbing up and down and swaying east to west. I called my family outside to verify it. It hovered for about 5 minutes, and was spraying down a red vapor that turned to white. It moved slowly to the northwest upwards and then disappeared. At first we thought it could be a flare, but it didn't go down it hung in the air, and the size was way bigger than a flare. (being a boater we have shot off flares in the past)

NUFORC Note:

2nd report from different witness to the same event. PD
