Red/Orange glowing or pulsating light gaining altitude
I was going to report this but didn't. I was waiting to see if anyone else did.
I was watching fireworks from my back yard looking over the city of Monroe, Wa,. when I saw a glowing red/orange glowing or pulsating spot of light. My wife was in the kitchen, I called her out to witness.
Object was South and appeared to hover or be moving southerly and gaining altitude away from my location. We watched it for 1 to 2 minutes. Object was very high in altidude and above normal flight and landing paths. Estimating at well over 30,000ft. If I was to guess its location I would say it was just southwest of Mt.Rainier.
I have various experiences with military aircraft and this was not one. I also have viewed atmosphere and rocket tests from Vandenburg AFB. This was not one. This was not a star, planet, flare, swamp gas or weather balloon. Very doubtfull this was some sort of test from the space station or other man-made object in orbit.
Judging by the distance from my point of view, and using the size and location of Mt.Rainier as a reference, the object was many times greater in size than a Boeing 747.
