SIGHTING: KIRKLAND, WASHINGTON (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was sitting on my back porch with my wife and her cousin around 10 pm. I noticed what appeared to be a bright satellite (moving at a similiar speed to a satellite from south to north). I said wow, that cant be one, its too bright, maybe its the space station or the space shuttle. Then the light dimmed as i said that and disappeared entirely. From the beginning to end the diameter was as large as vega in the beginning and as small as a pin prick when it vanished.15 minutes later I was in my backyard with a friend, and as i remembered the sighting. I told him emphatically how weird it was to see something so bright and know it was not a plane. At that moment, he said "like that?" I turned around (facing west towards lake washington) and a very bright oval/sphere object about the size of a dime in the sky moved from behind and a above a row of trees about 100 to 125 yards from our position. He then said "thats not a plane" I agreed and proceeded to become nervous because i had the feeling that it knew we knew about it and once i said something it had appeared. It stayed in plain sight above the tree line at 500 to 1500 feet up. I have lots of aircraft fly over from large airliners to small float planes and traffic cessna's so determining the height was very easy. it moved west to east in a slow up and down undulating motion that almost seemed to be playing with my line of sight as i ran to the corner of my yard to keep it in sight.As i took up another clear view it suddenly dimmed itself out into an ever smaller ring that went from the brightest white light i have ever seen to an orangish brown ring the size of what i can only describe as a needle point.I took a very poor cell phone video of the sighting, but it is like i said poor.I have never seen something so big , so low and SO QUIET. I have a witness , and he will attest to this as well."
