Sphere over Cape Mears, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Today's report is in addition to my last report, sent last week. During the time of our sighting, it was extremely dark and were in a heavy misty fog bank. The three orbs were just over the ocean about 100 meters from the 30’ bank we were standing on. As the orbs moved out in the ocean, they were heading towards Pyramid Rock which is about 1/2 mile from the shore line. Once near the rock, they next headed south back near the beach but towards the rocky cliffs of Cape Mears. The lights then followed the cape out into the ocean and around the rocky cliffs out of sight. Once the lights left our view, my wife and I couldn’t believe what we just saw. My wife said that if she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she would have never believed me.

I am a very sound sleeper, but I woke up and told my husband not to go outside, which he did anyway. I waited in the tent until he called for me to come quick there were some bright orbs coming towards the shore. It was very foggy and there was a heavy mist in the air. He thought at first it was a ship in trouble. As I got to his side there were three very bright lights traveling quickly towards what we call "pyramid rock." They would stop and "wink" at us, the lights would turn, go black, and then appear again. Right after they left the rock they traveled, quite brightly, along the cape towards us. Then they went back out and disappeared around other side of the cape. During this entire event, the dogs stayed quietly in the tent. This unusual for both of them, whenever there is something outside the tent they bark. It was unbelievably eerie, but I am glad I was there to witness this with him.

At 4:50 am. we were awakened by a strange animal like sound. I walked out and looked over the ocean and saw two bright orbs, about the size of a basketball, over the ocean. I immediately thought it was two boats in trouble as it was so close to shore. Looking closer, it was obvious that it wasn’t a boat because the lights weren’t bobbing up and down, but solid. The lights would turn and face shore then out to sea turning almost like looking around. As soon as my wife showed, a third orb appeared. Next, as we stood in awe, the lights moved quickly further out into the ocean. Moving quickly, then pausing every now and then. They then started moving south toward the rocky cape and disappeared into the night. The entire event lasted about four minutes. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found him to be quite sincere, and sober-minded. We suspect he is a highly reliable witness. PD
