A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a streak of blue/green light in night sky close to Central Point, Oregon on 9-13-2015 around 9pm. It seemed close not like a falling star more like lighting (but straight) and was unlike any kind of lighting I have ever seen. There was no storm or rain just a clear starry night sky at the time. The streak was very bright in color and coming from the sky downward at a slanted angle. I could see the straight blue/green light as a whole line at once and unlike a comet did not seem to have a larger front with a tail but uniformed in size from top to bottom. There was no nose and was not above city lights so it was very bright and rather shocking at first site, However, also rather pretty. I just would like to know what it was I saw. I believe it to be an unusual but explainable occurrence…I just don’t know what kind and I thought you might know. Thank You, J PS...when I say it was blue-green I don't mean it was mixed it was more green on the outsides and blue in the middle if that helps.

I saw this object flying mid-sky after entering the northbound I-5 freeway. I thought it was a plane at first as the Medford airport is about a mile away from where I was driving. The object was about the size of passenger jet and was traveling slowly from east to west approximately 500 to 700 feet above the surrounding hills about a mile and a half in front of me. The object was white and cylinder shaped with what appeared to be a dark line separating a third of the object from the rest. As it moved, I looked for wings,as I thought at first it was a jet plane that had just taken off from the airport. As I was watching, the object slowly pivoted. It did not turn, but pivoted towards the north and then faded from sight. It did not shoot off or suddenly disappear, but faded away within about 2 or 3 seconds after it pivoted. The whole event lasted about 40 seconds to a minute.

I went outside with my dog and was looking at the big Dipper when I noticed a bright, circular white light. It was moving across the night sky at a fast speed and in a straight line from east to west. As I continued to watch it I realized that there were two thin rods slanted from the sides of the circular object. There also seemed to be a perfect circular prism around this object and I realized that the brightness of the object seemed contained within this prism. I thought it was the International Space Station but when I checked the website it was nowhere near here. I am certain that what I saw was not a plane, jet or helicopter. I have always lived near airports or military bases so I know what planes and jets look like. I am not sure if this was a UFO but it is definitely unlike anything I have experienced before.

At approximately 0445 on Tuesday the 14th of April 2020 I was out having my morning coffee looking up at the moon and the Mars/Jupiter conjunction and noticed what I thought to be a satellite go from NW to SE just skimming past the handle of the big dipper. To my surprise, there appears a second satellite shortly after following the same flight path. I was shocked to see a 3rd and it appeared to have the same distance between each satellite. I was astonished when I saw a 4th and then a 5th and kept watching to see no less than 17!!!!! I'm a 60+ female who has served 20 years in the Air Force first as a Military Training Instructor, then worked for NATO, followed by Survival School at Fairchild and finished up as NCOIC of the Legal Office so I have had years of experience with watching aircraft and satellites. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Were these just satellites?

My wife and I witnessed an evenly spaced formation of high flying objects moving from a northeast direction moving to a southwest direction. I initially observed the objects and then called my wife outside to check out the unusual amount of craft. These craft were about the height of a satellite however, there were way too many of these craft to be a satellite which I have only seen race though the night sky one or two at a time, not dozens of evenly spaced craft. After about 20 minutes there came some other craft, but that group only included a remaining 4 lagging craft. Note: I could not visually observe any blinking light as would be expected from aircraft. that is all.

Me and my fiance came home the night of july 7th around 11:00 pm., and my fiance's friend (who had just dropped us off) calls and says theirs extremely bright orbs and flashing lights behind our house! i hear my fiance say "what is it still there!?" and we jumped out our bedroom window on to the roof and we see flashing every couple minutes which looked almost like lightning, it lit up the whole sky. but it was changing colors and coming from the same spot. (and it wasn't a light device or anything.(it was in our 85 year old neighbors yard.) Then we heard another neighbor's horse cry which was pretty close to it and our 4 dogs started freaking out and this extremely bright! white light orb type of flying object appears at the top of a tree hovering and was moving to the left slowly in increments then another one appeared on the ground below it. The one above the tree then appeared to be following a plane that was leaving the airport pretty close to our house, the lights were too bright to see any details other than that the light seemed to be circular. A minute later they blinked then disappeared then we saw a tiny thing jetting through the stars.and it looked like there was dark a cloud all around his property this whole time that then dissipated.and i also had the eeriest feeling the whole time it made me feel like i was having an anxiety attack.We didn't sleep till like 4 or 5 am. The next morning i went over t my neighbors house and told him what we had saw but he has been in bed already. As i was walking back towards our house i see a trail of black dust that slowly vanishes into thin air. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
