The thing was absolutely silent - we rolled down the windows to listen because we were in the country, remote, and no sound was around. It "floated" away heading south over farm land between Corvallis Road and Bunea Vista Road and then in about 5 seconds it was gone, had entirely disappeared.

Small object, around 10 or so feet long I'm assuming, moved very slowly, abnormal, had a kind of haze around it, three lights on aircraft, paused above a house in my neighborhood, seemed to notice me, moved closer. As I noticed what looked like two "aliens" looking at me I ran into my house, only for a moment to tell what has happened, two others noticed it and it moved very quickly away for something that small. Color of the aircraft seemed to be grey, oval shaped, might have made a sound? like a slight hum

While taking photos of the sunset, I first noticed an unusual cloud that appeared to be emitting a beam. Then I realized I was seeing something incredible, and familiar. I was seeing an open wormhole. Something I have seen before, ref 7-5-2018 Seaside OR. I have one still photo and a 4 minute raw video. From left to right in the video, the wormhole, the craft creating the wormhole and 3 orange clouds that are what I recognized as a wormhole that is closing. The twisting bright orange clouds go away in about a minute and a half. The craft can be seen with a beam coming out to the left as though it is the power source for the wormhole event. At the 4 minute mark it gracefully fades away. I looked back at my photos and a half an hour earlier I found a possible black triangle in one photo, it’s a stretch but I am including the photo. It appears to be pointed at what becomes the subject in the video.

The Dalles, OR
A bright ball to the right of mt hood (south west of here) coming closer and becoming brighter, 0.2 inches at arms length. We saw a cloud forming behind it as it traveled from sw to ne. Directly west it was at 10 o'clock in the sky, about a foot long, many large, bright chunks and smaller bright pieces like many sparklers. Looked like ATV-1 re-entry on Youtube. Was still buring up when it reached the far horizon.

Me, a friend, and a neighbor saw what appeared to be a meteor shower. These “meteors” were glistening different arranges of colors, not very visible though. After the “meteors” passed, bangs were heard and had a little shaking affect. The “meteors” were not going in a straight line, they were all messy and all over the place, all heading the same direction. No meteor showers were due tonight, so this all confirms suspicions of an assortment of UFO’s of some other identified aircraft/spacecraft.

I was outside late at night smoking on my back porch, which is situated on a hill overlooking a portion of the Coos Bay, when I witnessed unexplainable light formations move in the sky. It was partly cloudy outside, but I saw the UFOs when I happened to look up at a portion of the night sky which was not covered by clouds and saw two light-looking UFOs. I thought it was weird that two satellite-appearing lights were moving together so close, but suddenly one of the lights sped off into the cloud cover. The other light stopped moving through the sky suddenly, but then changed direction and began taking off towards the other light into the cloud cover. I've seen satellites and airplanes move in the sky and I know with 100% certainty these lights were moving like no known human aircraft. They made zero noise and moved far too fast, from zero to the speed of light it appeared in milliseconds. And they were far too high in elevation and moving too quickly to be drones of any type. What worries me is the fact that these things come off as looking initially like your average satellite moving in the night sky. I feel like most people would have probably glanced at what I saw and thought these lights are just satellites and brushed it off and looked away, since at first they were moving just like satellites. It was when I stopped for a few extra seconds and really took a closer look at them moving and thought to myself oh my god these are definitely not satellites. It makes me wonder how many events like this happen, where most people are so used to assuming these UFOs are "just satellites" and end up looking away from something which might actually be a UFO. But I understand why this would happen, since these light UFOs come off as your straight-forward satellite moving across the starry night sky at a typical speed and trajectory as a standard satellite. It's only when they "go off" trajectory would anyone notice they are even UFOs. Absolute insanity!

I was standing on my back deck, bending my neck about half way up to look at the stars. I always look at the stars at night when the night is clear. That night, it was pretty clear so I admired the stars. However, upon admiring, I noticed a very small object I perceived as a star but then later realizing it was an unknown object, perhaps a craft. There are very tall pine trees in neighboring yards, the sky was a medium night sky blue with little grey clouds, and this unknown object was hovering right above the top point of a pine tree. There were few clouds out that night and the object was in front of a small, grey cloud. I thought I saw it slightly moving and thought, “ It’s just how stays shimmer.” I was mistaken, I froze in a sort of fear and every time I saw the object move, I became terrified, shouting, “No!” Every time. The object was a little bigger than a star, it seemed to look like that on purpose. It was diamond shaped, with the bottom coming to! a point. It would move side to side and up and down; as it moved side to side, you could see the outline of the shape of the object. I felt as though this was something most people weren’t supposed to see. I’ve never felt this way about anything. It was intelligent, with its moves and shimmering, like it wanted me to notice it, like it was playing a little game. If shined bright like a diamond, like a star, no lights, no flashing, just a simple object replicating a star. The next day, I noticed two small places in the area looking for something. There are no coincidences. There’s always a small aircraft flying around my neighborhood, we see it every night. This object I observed was not something I’ve ever seen before. Although I believe the event lasted around six minutes, when I came back inside my apartment, I realized time went from 12:17am- 12:49am and I know I wasn’t out there that long.

About 3:45 in the morning I came out of my friend's apartment and walked to the parking lot with him as I got into my car I stopped and looked up in the sky and thought what was that I told my friend to look up at that we both started to stare at all but by the sky in front of us was a gigantic white almost glowing rectangle it looked so close like you could almost touch it but yet it was still really far away has it went over us very very silently it seemed that everything around it was completely silent as well couldn't grab my phone couldn't do much of anything just stop and stare it went slowly past us and hasn't went over as it seem to be sunny then as well it kept going from west to east across the night sky and then has it got maybe the 20 yards away from the original point of siding it seemed to Glow really bright and has got brighter and brighter mate's way into two then there were two rectangles going across the sky and then it started to go again, and then it became one again has it got about maybe 50 yards away from there a red light started to emerge from behind it and then that light circled around from the back almost to the front but just kind of in the middle of front and has that light connected to the middle of the front it just vanished

Sitting on the edge of my bed, taking off my socks, I looked up through the sliding glass door on the opposite wall and saw a very bright “star”. Immediately, I knew it could not be a star because it was cloudy that night. I stood up and walked to the glass trying to see what it was. I was looking to the North. The light was bright white and appeared to be 2 lights on the same craft. The upper light was almost the full length of the craft, the lower light was square and connected by something black or dark, about the same size. I only saw lights and the dark connecting piece. It was so bright I believe it would be visible in daylight. The lights moved completely in tandem. They were each the same color and brightness as Venus. Both lights had a twinkle effect like stars. The object was about 1/2” tall at arm’s length, a narrow vertical rectangular light moving erratically within about a 1” x 1” area: north, south, east and west, gradually moving to the West. If the object was 1/2” tall overall, it would be about 3/32” wide. The bottom light would be about 3/32” square. The black area between the 2 lit areas was also about 3/32” square. I moved around making sure of what I was seeing. It was not a reflection on the glass or on the clouds. I heard no sound, my cat did not react, I didn’t open the window. The object gradually, still erratically, moved west behind a tree in my backyard. At arm’s length it moved about 1” to the West before it was no longer visible. This took about 1-1/2 minutes. It was about as high as two, 2-story houses from my 2nd-floor vantage point. My Background: 77 years old; retired artist; mom & grandmother; live with a cat

Klamath Falls, OR
On 1 March 2021, that evening this investigator was on Facebook... looking at the Klamath Falls Scanner and News site, I noticed allot of chatter concerning a strange object seen over the city. After reading several statements made, I remembered that earlier in the day while in Klamath Falls I did see a very large military cargo aircraft in a holding pattern looking to land at Kingley Field. That was about between 1 and 2 pm. While going through the Facebook page, I reached out to a couple of individuals to contact me on what they saw. Within minutes I was contacted by MB, her initial statement is below. Emailed statement from witness; Hi, As requested, here's the info in the UFO I saw tonight. Date 3/1/2021 Time: 19:25 Description: a solid triangular shaped craft, with lights on each corner. Completely silent. Direction, SW. I live on Altamont and it was near Washburn. Hope this helps, More detailed information emailed on sighting from witness MB; "Let me start by saying that I grew up on an AF base, so I know the difference between a jet and what I saw. 3 whiteish non blinking lights, and the object was dead silent. It was between 800 and 1000 feet and flew straight over me and my husband. Estimated size, half a football field. And it was way bigger than my thumb I live on Altamont and it wad heading towards Washburn and then off towards Stewart Lennox. Please reach out if I can help more. And let me know what you find out." Thanks! Statements and conversation posted on Klamath Scanner and News via Facebook of the above incident, initials are used for each of the witness statements to protect their privacy; M B "I saw something weird, and right after that the jet's started taking off." L L "There was a couple different jets around yesterday it looked like a b1 was one." T S "M B Well, the U2 was flying above our airspace today. Not uncommon for it to fly through here occasionally." (Investigator note... It's obvious here there is a confusion between a B-1 bomber and a U-2 Recon aircraft.) H H "B G I did! I was on the south end of Homedale heading out to pick Alex up from Henley." M B T S definitely not that. But that's a cool bit of info. M B "H H im wondering if there was more than one. The one we saw was heading toward Stuart Lennox." C B "M B it deff wasn't that. This literally made no noise and was way to low to be a U2." H H M B possibly, this was between 8 and 8:15 M B "C B I'm not going to be surprised if we start seeing more!" C J "M B I saw it too!" B G "H H tell me EVERYTHING what did it look like!" H H "B G it was super low and seemed super smooth, I saw some red lights, at first I thought it was a jet taking off but there was no noise, then I thought maybe a drone!?! I really didn’t think much of it other than I had never seen anything like it!" M B "B G a triangle shaped craft with lights on the corners." T S "M B The B2 bomber is triangular shaped. There's only 21 of those, extremely rare to see, but there is 3 of them stationed south of China, plus they are based out of Whiteman AFB (Missouri). I remember seeing one a couple times when we lived…" S K "E K more than just C and I saw this weird thing lol." M B "T S I've seen one before. It was definitely not that. I'm a military plane aficionado." T S "M B There's plenty of 'experimental' aircraft in the Nevada desert testing grounds! We aren't that far away!" T J "M M I don't think I've ever seen any others, I mean it's completely possible this wasn't a UFO but it was so fast & shot straight up that IDK what else it would've been.!" C B "N H we were driving and when we turned around to snap a pic of it we couldn't see it anymore!" M M "It looked like a big drone to me I saw exactly what you were talking about." C B "MM at first my mind went to plane, as I looked at it, it wasn't a plane. It did'nt have the blinky lights like a drone does. The lights pulsated different." M M "C B ya but I got a good look and it looks like a really big drone so I’m not exactly sure what it was but that’s what it looked like." C B "M M could very well be. We did see it driving so it was kind of obscured. Had to be pretty big for a drone though." M M "C B that’s what I was thinking too." C B "M M I did a tour in Afghanistan and I'll tell you it didn't look like or sound like any aircraft I've ever seen before!" M B "If that was a drone, it was freaking huge!" M M "C B that’s what I said to never seen anything like it!" H L "C B ... I have a video of one we saw sounded like that.. it was like nothing I've ever seen. But had a pulsating light too. But when I saw it was in roundlake where we live." H L "RG W I got pics and vids to blow your mind... come out here where I live. They are all over out here now. And I've been here in roundlake 20 years ...never seen this... it's just been the last year I can't go anywhere without seeing them!" (Note; RG W is this investigator) T S H I’ve seen this before. It’s a V-22 Osprey with active sound cancelation. It’s like the Bose sound canceling headphones put on the outside of a jet tilt rotor aircraft. I’ve seen it silhouetted against the night sky and being escorted once by a … (Investigators note; I did ask the Public Affairs officer if they get Osprey aircraft once in a while at Kingsley, she stated yes they do.) J M "M B how big would you say it was?" (Investigators note; Many confirm that the size of this object was over a half a football field long.) C B D G after burners have sound my dude. This made ZERO noise at all. And if a jet had afterburner on the said jet would really be moving pretty quickly. This seemed like it was hovering! M B "J M half a football field, at least!" The following agencies were contacted on the sighting; Klamath County Sheriffs Office, Klamath Falls Police, Herald and News Paper, Kingsley Field Air National Guard Base, spoke with Smsgt Shirar... stated they did have aircraft flying, but no reports of any 'unidentified objects'. All agencies were unaware of any stange craft in or around Klamath Falls area. Via Herald and News, and the Public Affairs officer Kingley Field; "The 173rd Fighter Wing will conduct night flying operations from March 2-4. Operations will take place between approximately 4-9 p.m. each night. Night flying is part of the course curriculum for F-15C student pilots at Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls." There were some night flight operations on the night of 1 March 2021, as I live 45 miles NE from the base and I heard fighter jets in my area. (Investigators conclusion) The weather that day was in the 50's and clear, so that evening there would have been clear skies and temps dropping to mid 30's. As witness MD stated, the object was triangular in shape, with non - blinking white lights on the corners. Another witness stated 'red' lights were seen. MB also submitted a drawing of object showing its triangle shape with lights on corners. And she was positive this was not a conventional military aircraft, as she was raised on USAF bases and was familiar with most USAF aircraft. Also noted that the object was 800 to 1000 feet distance over her and her husband flying silent. Estimated size at half a football field. So size estimate at 50 meters or 150 feet in length. She also stated if she held out her thumb at arms length, it was larger than that. From her statement the object was solid, edges of it were sharp and moving silent through the night sky in a SW direction. As noted by other witness posts on the Klamath Scanner and News Facebook site, some say possibly conventional military aircraft such as the B-2 bomber, which is triangular in shape, others claim they don't know what is was. Two possibilities here, one-that this was a U.S. military aircraft or two- did an 'unknown object' slip into our airspace undetected? With lots of witnesses on both sides, hard to say at this time.

Looking out my southern facing window, in the night school below the snow cloud cover, I witnessed a bright fireball like object. It appeared to be moving in a rather unpredictable manner. At first, I thought maybe I was seeing a small drone or something. I called my husband to the window to look out on it. As he arrived at the window (about ten seconds later) the object moved easterly and joined two additional similar objects in the southeast sky. One levitated for approximately 15 seconds, then moved off into the cloud cover with the other two objects. There was no audible noise and the objects had a red glow with a yellow outline.

I was walking and out of the corner of my eye I see these 3 red dots in the air. They were slow moving and no sound. They just disappeared. I walked down the street to feed some cats, came back and 2 were there again. Both disappeared after a time of like a minute. They were red, didn't show up well in the video.

23:15: To the south, in the PDX northern flight path, I saw 4 solid, pronounced amber or bright red(ish) orange lights in a square formation. One moved down and disappeared into cloud cover as the remaining three shifted and made an equilateral triangle. They fixed like this for 10- 15 seconds, then formed a isosceles triangle where two got very close to one another and the third was far from them, fixed into being equidistant from them for maybe 10 seconds. Then they all started shifting again, and one left the group and slowly faded away (no cloud cover), and the other two did the same in different directions, one at a time. Over by 23:18. My partner and I have seen satellites, meteor showers, and the space station before. This was VERY different in color and movement pattern from those or any aircraft I've ever seen. They could turn and reverse without an arc or pause. Amateur sky observers. My partner went outside after this. At about 23:45 he saw (lone observer), one by one, 6 of the same lights appear one-by-one in the same part of the sky, move around one another in the same way and then one by one leave in different directions and fade away (not into clouds). He said this took 4 minutes.

I was driving to the store when I saw a bright light flashing that I’ve been seeing now for a long time so I pulled of the road and took some pictures. These same light I see quite often in my back yard at night and some times the day time.
