Round, red-orange, about 3 feet across. It seemed solid yet of a finer texture. It almost seemed translucent, yet I couldn't see through it, and the color was flat, not shiny

Size of Object(s)

Round, about 3 to 5 feet in diameter.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Tolmie State Park - heavily wooded with firs and maples. The park borders the Puget Sound, but where I was on the hiking trail was approx. 1/4 mile inland from the water.

Full Description & Details

While hiking in Tolmie State Park, I happened to turn around and looked across the hillside and a red-orange ball, approx 3 ft wide, was just hanging still in the air. It didn't look like the consistency of a rubber ball or balloon, but it was opaque. I just turned back around and kept walking, pretending I hadn't seen it, since it startled me so.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Definitely not

Witness Background

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I believed, and still believe, there are unexplained objects in the sky, but I don't have an opinion about what they are.
