6 spheres were flying in formation, 1 then 2, 1 then 2 in the western skies past McChord Air Force Base.They were reddish in color and had a short trail behind each.
Based on Air Force cargo planes and the distance away from us they seemed larger.
This sighting was over 50 years ago, and I had one other UFO sighting of a disk shape ship flying over Tacoma in 1957 which is posted elsewhere.
Since that time I have not seen a UFO.
The date is an estimate.
I was in junior high and it was a summer softball program.
My friend and I stayed after practice to hit balls.
After hitting the ball and looking up while watching it I noticed the spheres and told my friend to do the same.
We first thought that it was a military exercise but when we arrived home and listened to a local radio station there were a lot of people calling in about this sighting so we also called and they told us that there were more than 100 people that called in.
