Not from the Pacific Northwest, I'm based near Rendlesham which is about as far from you as you can get, but the missing time detail caught my eye. That's the part that always stops me. Lights are easy to dismiss, weather balloons and all that, but missing time is a different thing entirely. You can't really rationalise that away.
Did anyone in your group experience it together or was it just you? That's what I'd want to know first. Shared missing time across multiple witnesses is significantly harder to explain and I've read a few accounts from this area where that happened.
Post as much detail as you can remember - the sequence of events, where you were standing, what direction the lights were moving. Even the small stuff matters. What time did you first notice something was off?
