Three Unidentified Objects At Shriner Peak, Mount Ranier National Park

This happened on July 31st, 2014 at Shriner Peak in Mount Rainier National Park.

I had hiked there with the intention to do a solo overnighter. Once I reached the hike summit, I set up my tent and left the rainfly off (without it, my tent was mesh on all sides) so I could see the stars . I was the only one there, so I set my tent up in the middle of a grass clearing to the left of the lookout.

I watched the sunset in my tent, then laid down on my back. Once it turned dark at around 10pm, out of the corner of my right eye, I saw a floating light. I turned my head and saw a round shape with a convex curve on the upper/lower middle (kind of what you would think a generic UFO would look like) hovering maybe 150ft away from the ground. It had a light on it. The light was a warm light, not cool. Trailing behind it were two other hovering objects. They were not large, maybe the size of a smart car. I could not identify what they were and I was frozen with fear. They kept flying (it was more of a slower hover) in a pattern. They would make a pattern for a while, then leave, then come back again and make another pattern. This happened the entire night. I slowly tried to take out my camera (I was extremely scared) to film, but it would not focus in the dark. At one point, one of the objects hovered about 150ft directly over my tent and then flew toward Mt. Rainier (which wa! s straight away from my tent). When these things hovered, they made zero sound. He hovering was not extremely smooth, they would almost slightly bob up and down.

They made their last pattern right before dawn. I packed up my stuff and ran back to my car. I drove to the nearest ranger station to ask if they had been testing any kind of equipment near Shriner Peak. The ranger said no, but that there was a military base near by. I do not know if that is accurate as I tried to research it, but didn’t come up with anything.
