The report, as filed
Driving on FWY noticed odd slow moving object with bright elongated white lights that were slowly rotating in a circle. Extremely large dark black vessel , this thing was an enormous object. So dark you couldn’t make out a shape,it moved meticulously rotating in a smoothe clockwise turn , while the elongated light also rotated clockwise , parallel then horizontaly back to parallel etc.. it pretty much vanished. Like it peeled open part of the night sky and slide into it slowly, the lights were gone then we saw a reddish orange purpulsion, in comparison to what a sonic boom looks like, only red/orange in color, and completely silent. No noise at all. our best description and overall feeling we had, was how massive in size and powerful it was, This was an incredible and epic experience!

This continued long enough for me to run into the house and grab my girl and her nephew to come look, and they confirmed that it was definitely in the sky and strange. A few minutes go by and it looked like another light came up on it fast, they converged on each other, and headed downward at an angle towards the ground and they fell out of sight behind the mountain. They fell from the sky FAST! I have not seen anything since, and my eyes have been glued to the sky!

Anywhere from 5-7 pm pacific time while driving home from work, through Gold Hill Oregon close to the vortex, I saw a huge Orb of light in the sky come from around the mountains on the right side and in a couple different quick zig zagged movements head to the left and then disappear. I was driving South on I5. This is my second sighting in Oregon. A few years a part. I later heard via the news that an identical UFO was seen on camera at Yellowstone.

I wasn't sure if it was one object or two floating parallel. It was amazing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
