The report, as filed

This last Saturday (sic. Sunday), my roommate started frantically yelling for me to come outside and look up in the sky.. That's when I saw the the flying saucer.. It had moved into the valley right behind my house! I called for the others to come out and we all watched as it hovered for a while, wobbling on it's axis.. Then it banked hard at 40 deg's and dropped altitude… If I had to guess, I'd say it reduced it's altitude from 150 ft to maybe 65 ft before I lost it behind some tall tree's.. We only got 1 pic of it before the camera decided to turn off.. We live in a very rural area on Pumpkin Ridge, in North Plains.. It looked like it was heading up the Ridge so I jumped in the car and decided to try to chase it down.. but I never got it back into view..

North Plains, OR

We were driving across highways around north plains OR and 3 of us saw a medium sized flash above the trees slightly in the sky. It lit up the sky for a second and flew away in an instant as if it was going hyperspace from a movie and we couldn’t see it after a split second.

It moved southwest farther away behind a tree branch and I could no longer see it. I went into my bedroom and could see it out the window. Still the same just smaller, farther away. I got my binoculars and could see it more clearly. I was amazed! I watched it for 40 minutes. I went to get my phone to google it. When I came back it was gone. The sky was dark. I don’t know if it was just a reflection but I could have sworn the colored lights were streaming (not sure of the right word) toward the bottom and flashing. The light was about 60 degrees from the horizon. I live at about 1000’. The object was SW from me in the valley, toward Forest Grove area. I reported this on MUFON.

My roommate ran in the house and told me to come outside quick and look at this object in the sky. I came running out and I seen a disk shaped object, looking grey, it was slowly moving crossed the horizon, much slower then a plane would move. It did not have any lights on it or any other noticeable features. I could not see any wings or propulsion device. It kept moving until it went behind some tree's and I could not see it any more. My girlfriend and two other roommates saw this and one of my roommates got a picture of it. My son also saw it.
