brief sighting of object with faint amber lights traveling over Seattle
Looking due south from my house sometime shortly after 8 p.m., saw a very faint shape heading south about 60 deg up from the horizon. At first I thought it might be a reflection from a ground-based spotlight, (i.e. the kind you'd see at a movie premiere, or in the 20th century fox logo, etc.) but looking closer it appeared to be a shape moving in a linear southbound path. It was faint enough that I can't be sure of a coherent outline, but my best guess is that it was bow-shaped, i.e. an archery bow without the string. Faint amber lights were spread across it, perhaps 10 or 20 in total. The object was perhaps twice the diameter of the moon in width. There was fog to the south, and it moved behind that and disappeared. I kept looking around for another 20 minutes or so, but saw nothing further.
First time I've seen anything like this, I'm a skeptic about UFO sightings, and it was brief enough that I'm still questioning what exactly I saw, or if it was some kind of optical artifact. I'm willing to accept that I might be mistaken about all this, but it was still affecting enough that I'm here posting this account.
