Reported: 2013-08-28 21:40 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Seattle (West Seattle/SeaTac), WA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Two fireballs above West Seattle

I was talking on the phone to my daughter and looked out the window facing north. There were 2 fireballs, moving slowly to the east. I could see like a "fire" or flames in these objects which appeared to be egg shaped.

There were planes in the sky as they approached Seatac in Seattle. These objects appeared to be at about the same level as planes that were making the approach to land.

I am not good at estimating the number of feet, but maybe about 2000 feet in the air.

I am an older woman and have been a nurse for a long time. My only other observation was about 35 years ago in Montana when a flying object followed us.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))

Addendum to a previous report of fireballs

This is an addendum to an earlier report I made from West Seattle. The 2 fireballs I saw went behind some clouds, at first one and then the other eventually, and both never came out from behind the clouds. The clouds were thin and it seems like they should have reappeared, but didn't.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this witness, and she seemed to us to be quite serious, and sober-minded. We suspect that she is a very good witness. PD
