As reported

Light over Talent, OR

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

It then jolted right and diagonal left, then again hovered and blinked out. As two more people arrived and we told them our experience and they began to discredit us, another light came up over the horizon at an astonishing speed. It then copied the patterns of the first and again blinked a couple times and faded into nothing.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #116520). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Talent, OR

On this relatively clear evening I viewed a steady bright light, like the evening 'star' Venus, about the size of Venus, white in color, in the Eastern sky to the right and below the star Arcturus, It was noticibly brighter than any other stars in the sky, and appeared to be at a great distance from me. It was moving rapidly to the East and upward. I used the star Arcturs to judge the object's movement up and away from me. As it moved, the light grew smaller and smaller and just before disappearing appeared to change to a red color. There was no sound associated with it.
