No of observers: 1

Location: West Seattle, WA, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

I was on a flight from Seattle to Portland, and about 10 minutes after take off, I noticed two lights together off the left side of the airplane, and following slightly behind us. As I was watching, I thought it was unusual, for two reasons. First off it appeared to be getting to close to my plane and secondly there were two lights, one was white and the other was yellow. Initially the lights were similar to what you would see on an airplane except that one was yellow.

As I kept watching, I saw them both become larger and fuzzy looking. They then came together and quickly split apart. They then slowly moved further apart and were no longer following along with the plane as if they became stationary or began moving in the opposite direction. I then lost them from view as they got too far behind the airplane.
