National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 6/10/2016 04:35 (Entered as : 06/10/16 4:35) Reported: 6/10/2016 4:57:24 AM 04:57 Posted: 6/10/2016 Location: Seattle, WA Shape: Unknown Duration: 6 seconds Characteristics: There were lights on the object, The object left a trail
Bright light with an a flash of an orange tail, before disappearing behind the tall buildings of downtownt Seattle. I'm in my apartment on 8th and Madison, facing west, when I noticed a bright white light moving fairly fast towards the water. It's late, and I've been studying for a test, so my initial thought was I saw the lights on a plane landing. Then I realized if it was a plane, it would have to be extremely close to appear to be moving as fast as it was. As I'm standing up to get a better look at it, I see an orange steak of like behind it. Next thought is the largest shooting star I've ever seen, and at nearly 5 in the morning. Next thought was make a firecracker set off from a building? Where I viewed it from, it appeared over the Rainer tower though, so I would have no idea where the firecracker would have been sent off from. I don't believe in UFO's, but this is the only place I could think of to turn to for an explanation. Hopefully, someone else saw it too, and could let me know.

Bright light with an a flash of an orange tail, before disappearing behind the tall buildings of downtownt Seattle.

I'm in my apartment on 8th and Madison, facing west, when I noticed a bright white light moving fairly fast towards the water. It's late, and I've been studying for a test, so my initial thought was I saw the lights on a plane landing.

Then I realized if it was a plane, it would have to be extremely close to appear to be moving as fast as it was. As I'm standing up to get a better look at it, I see an orange steak of like behind it.

Next thought is the largest shooting star I've ever seen, and at nearly 5 in the morning. Next thought was make a firecracker set off from a building? Where I viewed it from, it appeared over the Rainer tower though, so I would have no idea where the firecracker would have been sent off from.
