Coquille, OR
Several star like crafts moving S.W to N.E. in a uniform line. Most same distance apart. Not sure how long it was going on before we noticed. Towards the end the stragglers seemed to be going faster. No sound. Also we seen a falling star during that stayed lite up till it went over the hills.

Sisters, OR
Very unusual, 11 bright non-blinking objects similar to usual satellites were observed trailing one another from southwest to northeast at 9:10 p.m. just east of Sisters, Oregon. Was sitting in my hot tub observing the night sky as I usually do. All objects passed by within 3 minutes, some closer to one another, others more separated, and two pairs side by side. Atypical trajectory, as most satellites here pass south to north or visa versa. In the past I have seen two such objects and then rushed inside to get online and discover that the space station and the trailing Space Shuttle had just passed over, but this was something else!

Sandy, OR
Flying objects very bright colors on them red blue white moving back and forth to each other and are all over sky’s above Sandy Oregon to the east as well . Some twinkle like a star but when video taped you can see they are receiving and or moving to others in sky. There are also some that blink at each other in a communication style as when a plane of ours passed by them that’s when they flash same colors at the same time.

Sandy, OR
Oval spinning with lights alternating colors and flashing brightly as they moved about back and forth to others the same shapes and in activities to each other in a very quick manner and if video taped you can see them even better as to detail of the objects and they are not moving in one direction they bob back and forth in a furious pattern and while exchanging light patterns to each other as well. One large object not emitting any light action was also what they were going to and fro as well all within the skies toward East skies over Sandy Oregon near the right of the Big Dipper handle constellation. These objects can be seen in all parts of the skies over town as soon as you can see them when sun has set and skies are dark you can see them every night. Last few weeks they are thick since the heavens are so quiet with the airplanes decrease due to the FEAR”!!! Of COVID 19! Incredible how our skies are so active with these busy working objects above all o! f this territory.

Central Point, OR
At approximately 0445 on Tuesday the 14th of April 2020 I was out having my morning coffee looking up at the moon and the Mars/Jupiter conjunction and noticed what I thought to be a satellite go from NW to SE just skimming past the handle of the big dipper. To my surprise, there appears a second satellite shortly after following the same flight path. I was shocked to see a 3rd and it appeared to have the same distance between each satellite. I was astonished when I saw a 4th and then a 5th and kept watching to see no less than 17!!!!! I'm a 60+ female who has served 20 years in the Air Force first as a Military Training Instructor, then worked for NATO, followed by Survival School at Fairchild and finished up as NCOIC of the Legal Office so I have had years of experience with watching aircraft and satellites. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Were these just satellites?

My wife and I witnessed an evenly spaced formation of high flying objects moving from a northeast direction moving to a southwest direction. I initially observed the objects and then called my wife outside to check out the unusual amount of craft. These craft were about the height of a satellite however, there were way too many of these craft to be a satellite which I have only seen race though the night sky one or two at a time, not dozens of evenly spaced craft. After about 20 minutes there came some other craft, but that group only included a remaining 4 lagging craft. Note: I could not visually observe any blinking light as would be expected from aircraft. that is all.

I Woke up at 4:45 am, grabbed my coffee then went outside to smoke. I look at the stars in the sky. Tonight I saw a Fleet of Flying White Dot's traveling East. I wasn't prepared to stay out in the Morning Cold. I watched quite a few passing overhead before I thought about Counting them. I counted 39 of them before I got too Cold to stay out any longer. This is not the First time I've seen these Flying over my house in the Early AM Hour's.

What looked like stars started moving from the west to the east, one after another, for half an hour. Seen from the beach near Cape Kiwanda, so stars and lights very visible. Lights moved in lines, quickly. Then some moved west to south. Then they stopped.

My daughter and her friend, my granddaughter and I were on our porch this evening at 8:00 p.m. The weather was clear and warm. My daughter said to look at an object in the sky that seemed to be flashing colors of white, red and blue. It seemed to be about 20 percent larger and closer than stars or maybe even the moon. I went into the house and got my binoculars, and we each had a turn or three looking at this object. It looked to me like it was at least the size of two of the largest passenger planes wide, and was of circular shape. There was one large light in the center of the bottom that was brighter than the other lights that were surrounding that center light. All of the lights were white, but would change to either blue or red. The craft was quite clear in my binoculars. It seemed like it was in our atmosphere, and maybe lower to earth. We four discussed the possibility of a weather station or a large satellite. Just the history of reports of! UFO’s describing the disc like or saucer shape, prompted me to report this siting. I went back into the house about 8:30 p.m., after our social distance visit, and got my camera and tried to capture the image, but couldn’t find it again. I took pictures, anyway, thinking it might show up on digital, but it did not show.

We saw people stoped on the side of the road looking up and pointing at a hill so we stoped and started to look and we quickly realized there was a pinkish reddish oval craft hovering in the air. So we got out are phones and as I was taking the picture I saw it on the screen, after I took the picture I went to look at it and it would not appear in the photo we try multiple times and nothin worked. After that we saw it move around the mountain like it was trying to find a place to land. It made it around the mountain so we kept driving. Then we looked at the same spot again like 5 min later and it was back and hovering and did the exact same thing again the only thing that was different is when is went around the mountain if never returned.

Standing in back yard. Noticed 2 stars in the SW sky, previously not noticed by me. One small light and one larger white in color with slight amber pulses(?) As the small one began moving I thought it may be a comet or meteor. Then the small one sped up went to the west then turned and shot to the south, making a very sudden sharp turn. That's when I noticed the big one moving away from the small one. At this point they are traveling in directly opposite each other. Then the larger one moved "up" and the small one shot past it, then seemed to disappear after a series of tracer like streaks. My heart jumped during it's disappearing. Then the big one just faded away... no witness or video. I was just so shocked.

I saw what I at first thought were two satelites crossing paths which struck me as interesting. Then I noticed another following in what seemed to be the same path as one of the other ones. Well it wasn't over I counted up to 15 on the exact same course! They seemed to be spaced evenly apart. The last one I saw came about 3 or 4 minutes later and seemed to be slightly off course of the others. My neighbor drove in and showed him what I was seeing and he saw what I saw. I have been a star gazer all my life and I have seen many things in the sky, but nothing I couldn't explain. I have seen thousands of satelites in my life starting with Sputnick when I was a child. These weren't satelites.

My wife was taking pictures of the full moon on the night of April 8th around 10:30 pm when she notices a orangish pink object moving erratically in the sky. She started to video the object. She got 1 minute and 45 seconds of the object flying around. Then the object disappears twice and at the 12 second mark it lets out a flash of light, similar to sheet lightening.( looks like it was hit by something) At about 1 minute and 38 seconds it disappears two more times and another bright light flashes across the sky. This time it leaves a trail and disappears.( looks like it was shot down by something). My wives phone battery instantly discharges to zero charge and shut off. We had no cloud cover that night and no planes were flying in or out of the airport at that time. I will send the video to back this up. Thanks

While sitting in my backyard last night with my son, girlfriend and a family friend my son brought some interesting action going on in the skies. He noticed some star like "things" that were coming up from the horizon, and then disappearing up into the night sky. These were not satellites. In fact we saw one fly from one end of the horizon to the other during this event. The distance was completely unknown as they only appeared to be stars. The behavior was this. One "object" would rise up from the horizon. It would go straight up vertical around the same speed as a satellite would move, but it would disappear. Then another would come up from the horizon and do the same thing. Go straight up vertical and disappear. Some times there were two that were visible at the same time, but most of the time it was only one. My son said he counted about 8 of them before he brought it to everybody else attention. I personally witnessed, I'! m guestimating around 15-20 of these anomalies, maybe more. We do a lot of sky watching. Especially camping up around Mt. Adams. We know the differences between an airplane (flashing lights, sound) from a satellite. I have never seen a satellite behave in this manner.

At 20:45 on April 6th, 2020, my father and I saw what looked like a star in the Western sky. It then became apparent that it wasn't a star or a satellite. It was omitting a glowing, steady, white light. What made us pay more attention was the fact that it was flying fast at a low elevation. It was traveling from Northwest to Southeast. We then heard the sound of an F-15, which is a common occurrence around where we live. It's a common trail that the Oregon Air National Guard flies their F-15s. It appeared as if the F-15 was attempting to intercept the craft. The craft did not change its speed, and headed South/ Southeast. The F-15 seemingly paced the craft until out of sight, below the horizon. The whole event lasted maybe two to three minutes. We didn't see either the F-15 or the craft again. My dad knew the sound of the F-15 and that is what alerted us to look for it. What was also odd was the fact that the F-15 was flying alone, because we almost always s! ee them flying in pairs.
