On September 28, 2024, Burien resident Jeremy Garcia witnessed an Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) while driving home from a fishing trip. Around 2:41 p. m. , he spotted the strange object hovering silently approximately 300 to 400 feet above the ground, near the Fred Meyer parking lot. Garcia documented the sighting with photos, which reveal an object resembling a person with a jet pack, though it displayed no movement typical of such devices.

The sighting drew the attention of other drivers, highlighting the growing community interest in UAPs as sightings become more frequent nationwide. Garcia speculated that the object might have been a balloon due to its floating behavior but expressed uncertainty. The incident has raised questions among locals, especially considering its proximity to Sea-Tac Airport, which has not reported any unusual activity. As of now, authorities have not provided an official explanation for the sighting, leaving room for speculation and curiosity. This event adds to the ongoing conversation about UAPs, encouraging residents to share their experiences and thoughts on the phenomenon.
