strange distant lights moving in zig zag patterns from south to north, one after another aprox. 1 minute apart.
Very clear sky with no moon light. At aprox. 11: 00 P.M. (Pacific Time) I looked up into the southern sky and saw very small light objects moving one after another from south to north across the night sky in a slightly "zig-zag" pattern as if from one imaginary point to another in a northerly direction at uneven speeds. Unlike any kind of aircraft I've ever seen. They appeared to be barely visible and at an unusually high altitude for any aircraft that I am familiar with. They darted like "insects across a glass window" one after another about 1 minute apart, and along different paths which, in my mind, ruled out satelites. I watched for almost an hour and came back out around 12:30 am and there was no sign of them. I have no idea how long this had been going on but would like to know if anyone else witnessed this event. Thank you. I have never filed a report like this before now.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness via telephone, and he sounded quite credible to us. However, when we explored his sightings, it seemed to us that he might have been witnessing satellites passing overhead. Given that the objects were observed by the witness as they flew to the east, we suspect that at least some of them may have been satellites. However, please see other reports from Washington State for the same time and date. PD))
