Baker City, OR
Northeast of Baker City, Oregon and towards the Eagle Cap mountains (Wallowa Mountains) I was looking through my 10/50 binoculars at the mountains and spotted two objects in the sky. One was long and horizontal and the second one was round. Both appeared to be stationary in a fixed position. Also the distance between them never varied. Occasionally the sun would reflect off of them. After about a half hour cloud cover obscured them. After about 5 minutes the clouds moved on and they were in the same position and the distance between them still remained constant. When I first saw them I thought maybe a weather balloon but the shape was different and their position remained constant. I have 20/20 vision and could not see them without the binoculars. Finally after about 45 minutes high thin clouds obscured them again. After the clouds moved on they had disappeared.

Ontario, OR
My Dad and I were relaxing on the front lawn by our house watching the stars and chatting. I saw three satellites come up over the trees from the Northwest, heading East. They were bright white lights like typical satellites, but they were extremely bright (I estimate an apparent magnitude of -3.5). I pointed out to my dad that there was a Starlink train coming up over the trees but it stopped at three satellites. A few seconds after they had all cleared the trees, the third satellite in the line suddenly vanished. The other two continued on for another five seconds before the second satellite accelerated very quickly to the South. Assuming this was in LEO, they may have been traveling at four or five miles per second. Based on this I estimate the satellite accelerated to upwards of eight miles per second in less than three seconds. The satellite then accelerated to nearly twice its original speed as it's still curving towards the south. Once it had finished accelerating towards the East, the satellite immediately began curving back North, stopping its Southward movement and accelerating to the same speed in the opposite direction in only a few seconds. Once it was perfectly in line with the other satellite it ceased all movement on the North/South axis immediately as if it had hit an invisible wall. It continued to gain distance between it and the other satellite before it vanished. The remaining satellite continued on as normal.

Newberg, OR
Initially saw object with two whitish/blue lights peeking in and out of clouds moving in different directions. Object appeared to be high in atmosphere moving at high speeds and changing direction suddenly. Object then moved slowly westward and flashed 4 times, then 7, then 5, changed direction erratically and quickly, then disappeared behind the chehalem mountains to the north. About two minutes later the object was low to the ground and in front of the mountains about 1 mile away with a deep blue glow. It appeared to move slowly until it disappeared behind the trees. Object appeared to be able to turn its lights on and off at will and change direction, speed, and elevation easily. No audible noise detected.

Grants Pass, OR
As we continued to watch more and more of these lights were appearing. There were at least 30 to 40 very bright lights. These were in a single file formation, they appeared to be going straight up into the sky. The sky is very clear tonight ,we are able to see most stars very clear. It seems to be a pretty dark night with no moon that we can see from where we are. After the lights faded out, and watching for about one to two minutes. As soon as they were all gone the star just to the left of where the formation had disappeared. It became really bright for about 5 seconds, than back to normal. At which time all the dogs around our home including our three started barking. They barked for about 10 minutes.

Butte Falls, OR
Large stationary light. Largest light in the sky with a fog like glow around it like a car headlight. No other stars had any foggy glow. No clouds. Northeast from Butte F alls. To the right of the stationary light was a streak of light i thought was a shooting star. The streak dissapeared and reappeared numerous times and i could see lights in the streak moving upwards. They appeared vertically and horizontally,like a half cross. The streaks got really bright then dissapeared immediately like a light switch. The stationary light dimmed and brightened then dimmed out completely but i still saw the glowing fog for another 5 minutes before it was gone.

Roseburg, OR
At approximately 22:00 hrs. There were a line of satellite like objects passing overhead from the west to northwest direction white lights one after another. There were two side by side two separate times then one about every 30 seconds for approximately 10 objects then spaced out to 3 to 4 minutes for the remainder of them.Not sure of the 28 to 30 objects as I went in the house to get my witness. I continued to watch until the last smaller and less bright object pasted overhead as it did off to the left side of it two very bright flashes occurred and that was it.

Looked like satellites but lower and saw two collide and change direction. Some seem to be on a formation and would just appear out of nowhere almost like a tunnel coming out of the sky.

Brownsville, OR
I was sitting outside in my hot tub which is faced directly south. To the SW is the Eugene airport. I observed two white lights traveling generally towards my position but to the west a bit. I often observed aircraft near EUG but these lights were not taking off or landing. I noticed the two lights never changed their distance from each other and that they were not blinking. They were white and no other color was seen. As the lights came close it seemed between the two lights there were many more small, white lights; One to two dozen perhaps. To the west of our deck are some tall trees and the lights stayed above that horizon. As I saw them I started thinking, those lights have to be about 15,000 feet and I can not see an outline of a craft! I was in the Air Force and have seen many types of aircraft. This, appeared much larger than anything I have experienced and it was triangular. A bright light in the front and one in the back, with several small lights scattered on it’s underneath. I got out of the water and moved so I could see it continue NNE. We live in a south facing hill and it disappeared beyond as I looked North. As I clearly saw the outline of the craft at its altitude the distance front and aft was about two inches from my vantage. I never heard any sound that would be expected from an aircraft flying in proximity. I hurried into the house told my wife and then called my brother who had a significant sighting many years ago.

50+ lights perfect spaced flying over our heads, about 20min in the lights were coming in a formation of 2 and 3 triangle shape, one would disappear and re-apier in a different location and glide back into the triangle shape but continuing the perfect space between lights. I have video to prove

Medford, OR
My eight and twelve year old girls were camping out in the backyard and saw multiple lights all headed in the same direction. They called me outside and I observed probably fifteen or twenty of these lights traveling all in the same direction. They were headed slightly NorthEast from Medford, Oregon toward Klamath Falls area. They could have been planes but they weren’t blinking. They were traveling too slowly and steadily to be shooting stars. Once one shone a bright light twice in our direction, causing two large blinks. Most were traveling in the same path, but occasionally one would be going across the main path for a while. My husband and fifteen year old son also came out and observed for a while.

Was driving west on burnside and eastman pkwy in my convertible. I looks up like i often do and saw two orbs next to each othee, no shape no sound going from south to north. The orbs would alternate brightness about a second apart. At first i thought drone but it was to high to bright and moved to far for any drone, not sure if it was higher or lower then an airplane going to land at pdx which i also saw at the same time. it flew several blocks before it disapered behind trees. The further it moved away the more it looked like it had two small lights in between the two larger lights now looking to flare up left to right. Have seen helicopters and jets at night both loud and obvious with distinct shapes. What i saw was just to orbs, a UfO. i have no idea what it was. Ican only speculate.

My girlfriend and I was camping up at Green Peter Lake. And as we scanned the night sky, we noticed that what looked like satellites were going from West to East. But then some started going in groups of 2 to 3. And this continued for at least 30 minutes. And at least 200 crafts. The lights never blinked. And not a sound to them.

Watching for satellites I noticed two lights flying in a fixed formation, heading NE, followed by a third in the same direction, and a few seconds later a fourth. The fifth light that had been stationary and I had thought was a star and it began to head SE then slightly changing direction eventually disappearing. A few minutes later I watched two more in a fixed formation heading E and the eighth heading NE a minute after that. There was no noise associated with any of the lights and compared to satellites I have seen in the past and those last night, these lights were much brighter and moving very quickly.
