Unique experience in Olympic National Park
A group of close friends and I stayed overnight at one of the campsites at Deer Park Campground, just outside Port Angeles, Washington (Olympic National Park).
It was mid to late August 2015😊 a relatively warm day which shifted to a nice cool evening, the sky was clear backlit with stars. There were about 5 of us in our small group with about 3 tents evenly circled around a campfire ring with a wooden park style picnic table. We had a fire going cooking some food, while playing cards, telling stories and sharing laughs. There were alpine spruce trees scattered about the campsite, I’d glanced up as something caught my attention, it was about 8 ft up in one of the trees branches on the right side from my seated perspective, appeared to be glowing orb or orb-like object, roughly about the size of baseball, the camp fire light provided backlighting for the spruce tree branches and needles, the object blacked out the light as it moved along the branch toward to central tree trunk. The outer portion appeared ringed by a soft glowing light which emitted inward toward a darken central mass with a glowing radiant of light emitted from the most center point itself. It blinked in and out of visual perception as it moved. I immediately questioned what I was witnessing and brushed it off as a strange visual phenomenon or distortion. One of my friends suddenly asked if anyone else could see the “glowing light in the tree” the group conversation immediately went silent as everyone directed their attention to the tree followed by multiple friends proclaiming shock or confusion “uh what is that” “does everybody see this right now”… emotionally speaking I felt an uneasiness when the color shifted. It seemed like curiosity first then defensively menacing.
The object moved up the branches, continuing to blink in and out of observable perception. It changed color from a warm white, to more orange glow followed by firey red. It reached the top of that particular tree turning into a bright vibrant green color then shot straight up at a remarkable speed out of sight.
The next day, other campers around the site asked what type of lights we were using to do that in the tree. To this day I have no idea what I witnessed. Theories range from electrical discharge from tectonic activity to alien research probes. Anyone else experienced this type of event?
