4th of July - Red/Orange UFO with bright pusling light - Auburn, Washington - 12 witnesses

While shooting fireworks at our home on the 4th of July, 2009, at around 10:00 PM, two of 12 adults noticed a reddish light moving slowly in the sky. I called out for the others to look and my friend yelled for everyone to stop lighting fireworks and look. We all moved toward or fence, staring to the South as the craft grew larger. It was like a rounded square shape or sphere, a beautiful reddish orange color with a single bright pulse of amber light every 2 -3 seconds. It had no anti-collision lights and did not look like any conventional craft any of us had ever seen, and it was not a firework. Two of the adults are ex-military and very familiar with military craft. They both stated that what we were watching was not a plane or helicopter or any other conventional craft. The object moved slowly, with a slow, pulsing strobe of bright gold that would flash and light the center of it. I believe it was about 1/4 to 1/3 mile away. It was traveling North towards us and curved gently toward the West as it disappeared in a smooth flight.

It seemed that the center was darker than the rest of the ship until the light pulsed, and as it traveled, it went from a reddish color to an orange - the object appeared to be lit from inside - Like a frosted glass shade on a lamp. There were 12 adults, most of us non-drinkers, and 3 children that all watched. We had been watching fireworks in the distance to the South and were alerted by the fact that unlike the fireworks that had been going on all around the neighborhood, this object was moving horizontally, did not explode, made no sound, and made a slow arc towards the West before it got so far away we could not see it. We all felt different - confusion, amazement, and fear -A few of us were excited and almost euphoric - Feeling lucky to see it. We all discussed the object as it flew in the sky, ruling out every flying craft we could think of as we watched it. We lost sight of it when it flew out of sight.
