NUFORC Sighting 123119

Occurred: 2015-10-21 20:30 Local
Reported: 2015-10-25 08:02 Pacific
Duration: 30 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Castle Rock, WA, USA

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Lights on object

My wife and I were on the patio when we noticed a bright light fly over the house coming from the NW and heading SE.

As the object flew in front of the Moon I wonder if the lights were a reflection of the Moon, but the objects light quickly faded and I could then see the reflection of the Moon on it. It appeared to be round and the color looked like un-polished stainless steel.

We live on I-5 and the normal flight path for aircraft is north/south. The object seemed to be between 3000-5000 ft high, no navigation lights and no sound.

This is also the third strange sighting in a month.

NUFORC Note:

The ISS was visible from Castle Rock, WA, at 2045 hrs. (local), but it was visible in the extreme western sky, and only for 48 seconds. PD
