Triangle over Cottage Grove, 78920 Adams rd., OR

The report, as filed

We had 10 acres in cut hay. I woke up around 2am walk out the back door of the little house which my wife and i were using at the time to pee. I had a clear view of the hills about 1.5 miles away. It is a flight path for planes landing in Eugene Oregon about 20 miles away. 737 planes were common objects. I spotted it and its size amazed me. I continued to watch and my first reaction was how slow it was moving. Its bulk and lack of movement made me wonder how it could even fly. I figured its length was 6-7 planes long. the nose looked like a plane only much larger and carried this shape along the side I could see. It had what looked like massive plates on its surface with the area of what I call the nose curve a black shiny surface like a dark tinted window. It continued to move to the right and started to rotate to the left starting to show the back of the triangle. It looked to be a flat black surface with a radius at both ends. There were two round lights at both ends and the center of the lights were large black dots making the lighted parts look like thick lines. There did not appear to be any power source. When it stopped its rotation, it was a dead stop move to an angle shift in direction. I wanted to get my wife, but I did not want to miss a single moment. I have wanted to report this for years. I wrote down what I saw and drew a picture. Several years later my wife and I were in Cottage Grove Oregon and were stopped by the edge of town and 737 jet swooped right down on top of us and I thought it might crash. What it did was start to climb up with its engine's pointed directly at us. At this point I rolled my window down look at my wife and said listen there is no sound. We should have been getting an engine back blast, but there was no sound. We where shocked.
