On October 11, 2024, a witness in Marysville, Washington, reported an unusual sighting to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC). This frequent stargazer, who had been watching the northern lights, described observing five objects in an arrow-like formation, moving approximately ten times faster than the International Space Station (ISS). The experience lasted around 12 seconds in the backyard, leaving the witness mystified.
Description of the Event:
The sighting occurred around midnight local time, with the objects traveling west to east. According to the witness, these objects had a brightness similar to the ISS but crossed the sky at a staggering speed. Unlike typical satellites, which take several minutes to traverse the sky, these objects covered the entire sky in only twelve seconds. The observer noted the unique, organized arrow-like formation, ruling out individual satellites or nocturnal birds.
Hypotheses and Exploration:
Initially, the witness considered that they might be Starlink satellites, known to travel in formation. However, this theory was quickly dismissed due to the objects' unusual speed. The observer also checked satellite tracking websites but found no information matching the time, formation, or speed of the sighting.
The witness mentioned observing potential “electrical or magnetic effects,” although no further details were provided on this aspect. These characteristics—unusual speed, lack of visible trails, and consistent brightness—make it unlikely to have been a natural phenomenon.
