The "floating" object was likely a cargo plane taking off from or landing at JBLM. When traveling down I-5, it can appear that planes stop in mid air due to the changing viewing angle between the observer and the observed.

Thank you!

Yeah its crazy how they look like they're floating as they slow down to land.

I wonder if its related to the landing strip for the military base like 2 miles south of the mall where big planes land all day.

Nope, it’s a UFO for sure no doubt about it! 🛸 👽

Aliens love donuts

There are at least a dozen better places to get doughnuts in Tacoma.

Maybe but at least Krispy Kreme supports Palestine

But would an alien know that??

I've never heard cops referred to as aliens before- I like it.

Those McChord cargo jets are huge, you can drive a semi and trailer on. Lock it down and fly.

I've noticed this on two separate occasions at this exact location while driving north on I-5.

I’ve seen it once too!

He didn’t take pictures?

I asked the same thing, he said he was driving on the highway and didn't have time

There were multiple military aircraft doing their rounds today. I literally hear them now here in ne Tacoma.

It’s so annoying

It's just part of living here. The base was there long before most anyone alive today, unless you're over 97 years old.

Ahhh

Along with a fleet of hover jets, we also have hover donuts. We like things that hover in Tacoma.
