My boyfriend and I were passing through sultan and Monroe Saturday night around 8:40pm when suddenly we look up to see a large fireball breaking through the atmosphere. Initially we thought it was a meteor until we both studied it more and saw the fire was coming out of an object above it, it was pitch black outside so we could only see the outline of what it was coming out from. about 20 seconds into it coming towards earth it suddenly turned into a glowing LED colored object with other unexplainable objects illuminating through the glow right as it was getting closer to earth. Then suddenly it turned back into the "fireball" we were seeing. Then a couple thousand feet above earth it just disappeared. I never heard a sound of it crashing or any "sonic boom". What we saw is truly unexplainable.
