Circle over Rogue River, OR

The report, as filed

On March 14, 2019, at 19:50 I was outside on my deck watching the sky. I saw a red round object over my house. This is the third time I've seen it. On all occasions I was able to videotape the events. The object moved slowly over going from the south to the northern sky. It would sometimes disappear & then reappear. I videotaped it the entire time. I could see that it would grow dim & then get brighter. At approximately 19:52 it grew very bright, then expelled an object. I thought it looked like red water. I saw all of this without a telescope, unaided with my own eyes. The object that was expelled was also red, then dropped straight down & disappeared. It is visible on my Apple I phone. When I reviewed the video on my phone, I could see the object that was expelled was round & red. My phone has the ability to enlarge the area & it is clearly round, red, & came out of the original object. The red light then moved more to the north & was level with the trees up the street from my house. It went behind the trees & didn't reappear. I am studying astronomy & have spent countless hours outside. What I saw was not a drone, was silent, with no moving parts or flashing lights. I showed it to a United Airlines pilot & he told me to report to the UFO center. He said it was nothing he'd ever seen & couldn't identify it.
