What Happened
On July 9, 2026, at around 10:30 p.m., a local group of observers reported a striking phenomenon in the sky over Spokane, Washington. The witnesses said several glowing objects appeared above the area, shifting between white and flashing lights and changing size and speed within minutes.
The witnesses estimated that the objects were several kilometers away and higher than nearby buildings, moving at an angle of about 45 degrees above the horizon. They crossed the sky in different directions, sometimes circling all the way around before stopping abruptly and then continuing at varying speeds. Some appeared in groups of three, arranged in triangular formations, while the lights around them flashed in a strobing pattern.
Up to 24 separate displays were seen over the course of the night. Activity involving about 10 objects had also been reported on each of the previous two days: they moved in circles, lingered, and changed direction suddenly, as if they were “practicing” or “experimenting.” After sunset, another series of bright lights appeared from the west, paused for a few seconds, then moved from north to south before disappearing.
The witness says the lights can be seen from the trail leading up to a nearby old reservoir. They reportedly appear from 10 p.m. until 1 a.m., giving local observers a regular opportunity to watch the phenomenon.
Context and Significance
Reports of this kind are often logged with NUFORC, but it is unusual for a group of people to describe objects changing shape, color, and speed on the same night. The witness’s account of triangular formations and strobing lights suggests a recurring pattern. It raises questions about possible natural explanations, such as illuminated balloons or rare atmospheric phenomena, while also pointing to the possibility of further research into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).
What You Need to Know
This is an unverified eyewitness report, with no video evidence or technical measurements available. Still, the precise details about direction, angle, and timing suggest that the observer was attentive to the characteristics of the sighting. Observers are encouraged to monitor light activity in nearby areas and look for visual documentation during future appearances.
