The report, as filed

I'm not sure if it is a UFO I just don't know what it is. I did not notice it until later when I was looking at my photos I took. I was in the car when I took the photo. I have emailed the photo to the email at the bottom of the page.

Warrenton, OR

Myself (48), my oldest (22) and my youngest (19) had just gotten slushies for my youngest’s 19th birthday and were parked in a Costco parking lot. We were sitting in our car talking. My youngest was sitting in the back and noticed a strange light through the panoramic moonroof. At first he thought it was a star, but it moved. Then he thought it was a satellite, but it changed in brightness and direction. That’s when he brought it to our attention. By the time we started filming, it had already changed direction 5 times. It moved from a close distance to maybe a mile away almost instantly. It also would grow incredibly bright, fade, disappear and even strobe. In the video it was in the sky to the North, most likely over the Columbia river. It was moving at a speed and direction that would be impossible with our technology. It seemed to be between 100 feet and 2000 feet in elevation. Movements were very fluid and slow to lightning fast. After watching it for several minutes, it seemed to fade into the distance to the North which would put it at a speed of at least 3 times the speed of our aircraft. We see Coast Guard helicopters and local aircraft all the time. This was nothing like anything we had seen before. We had no doubt this was a UFO.
