Mid level elevation. Unidentified brown object flashing red and white light. Moved quickly to the west then went higher in elevation and almost seemed like it rotated before changing course to the South West. No sound could be heard.

What I thought was the space station (very slow bright light across sky) turned out to be about 20 evenly-spaced lights, travelling in formation, faster than an aircraft but not as fast as a shooting star (as a shooting star passed in the other direction as I was looking up). Looking at other comments, this may be Starlink satellites?

I was sitting on my porch with my partner when a ball of light started moving towards the right side of the sky. At first it was slow and the light was bright white, beams of the same color seemed to come out of it through the back. It kept moving to the right, stopped, and then started moving towards the left before disappearing from our sight. It came back suddenly, it looked very similar to a star, but then the light suddenly faded into a blue/greenish hue - it quickly circled out, leaving a trail, and disappeared from our sight.

I was admiring the night sky when I saw what appeared to be a oval like object hovering from 4 to 5 miles away with lights looping around it the color was yellow around it and a single orange color light in the middle. After 3 minutes of observing the object. I attempted to grab my phone so I could take a picture of it. By the time I got the camera going, it disappeared from view.

I have two pairs of NV7 Gen3 night vision googles. I was in my backyard with a friend, showing him my using a handheld laser to point out anything of interest. We were both looking through googles when the incident occurred. We had been looking around for things moving for about 10 minutes when my friend shouted for me to look straight up. He first spotted five points of light in a perfect triangular formation moving from south to north at a very rapid speed. He said that he saw the formation at about a 40 degree angle to the south. When I saw it, it was pretty much directly above us. I immediately shined my 2 watt handheld blue laser towards the formation and immediately the formation began to split up, with the lights on each side of the formation breaking out at an incredibly fast rate. The formation disappeared behind a tree in my yard. The entire incident lasted 4-6 seconds.

Jacksonville, OR
Saw what appeared to be satellites moving North. At first it was 1 every 20-30 seconds. Later followed by 2 very close together moving in unison and then 5 objects moving in unison and evenly spaced. All moved in the same direction and many on what appeared to be the exact same path. Lost count at 18 in the span of 10 minutes. While the 5 in a row were passing there was a “shooting star” off to the side that was very bright, yellowish with a red aura and tail.

I had stepped out onto my driveway for my first cigarette of the day. It was still dark in the sky but clear, no clouds. And as I often do when it is clear in the sky I looked up to the stars. Immediately I saw what appeared to be a satellite traveling relatively quickly from a West-SouthWest to East NorthEast course but immediately behind him (a mile?) was another one and then I noticed that there was a whole string of them. They were mostly evenly spaced apart but not all of them. A few were 3/4, give or take the distance from each other. One of them seemed to play slight catch up with the others - But I couldn't be sure. I am also not sure that the first one I saw was indeed the first one in the column. I suppose its possible that I didn't look up until the string of these satellite looking semi-bright objects were already half way past. I just don't know. These could be satellites but I have never ever seen perhaps a dozen all strung together in a row.

I was looking to the east at 5:25am. I saw 3 stars, similar to Orion's Belt. At first I thought 1 star appeared to be moving south to north but then it was all 3 appearing to move in the same direction. As I watched I realized there was a line of about 30+ "stars" stretched from the northeast horizon to the southwest (just over and behind my head), equidistant from each other, and moving from southwest to northeast. I realized I needed someone else to see these things and got a coworker to get out of her car and witness the last 10-12 of them as they moved out of sight to the northeast. These appeared to be stars or satellites but they were symmetrically spaced and moving at the same speed in the same direction and they stretched across half the sky (30-40+). I'm a Certified Nursing Assistant and the other witness is a cook in the facility where I work. I've seen other unusual things in the sky but never more than one or two and never long e! nough for another person to witness them. Honestly, this was amazing!

A stream of fast moving lights that looked like stars in alignment evenly moving across the sky from south to north and then one of the lights took off really fast towards the west - that looked like a brighter traveling comet.

Forest Grove, OR
Went to get food for me and my coworker at 19:20. Upon returning I saw a white light with a blue hue and a smaller green orb attached pass over me. It continued for another half mile before dissapearing. The car behind me almost came to a dead stop! I thought originally it was a trick of the eye's until I called my coworker. I was informed that he saw it as well and even caught it on his dash cam in his vehicle. It did not dissipate like a shooting star or comet would usually. Both of which are not unusual for the area. Shortly after there was a search helicopter in the area last seen doing circles. Not long after I returned to my site me and my coworker saw a mysterious white orb floating in the distance for a couple hours fluctuating between brightness before completely disappearing. It was very strange. I used to be a huge skeptic until tonight. Now everything, including any logical explanation of it has changed drastically. Due to the nature of the work si! te and confidentiality of the client, I cannot release location. Only general area.

portland, OR
I was travelling home from work from portland to washington northbound across the interstate 205 bridge, about halfway across the bridge just after passing governmnet island I saw a glowing pulsating amber yellow sphere parallel to the bridge, there must have been atleast 50 other vehicles on the bridge within sight as well, It was travelling south to north parallel to the bridge. I only got to look at it slowly moving across my view for about 5 seconds before it flew off with astounding acceleration north at a slight upward curve until it dissapeared into the clouds. I've never seen anything move like that before. The portland international airport is within a mile of this location, i could see 3 planes in the distance a few miles away coming in to land at the airport as reference points the orb appeared much much closer to the bridge I would guess 100 yards, I was driving with my window down and I could not hear any noise coming from the object, just! the wind/ noise from the passing cars on the other side of the freeway. I did not believe in Aliens before seeing the way that sphere moved with my own eyes, I've believed in the possibility of alien life on other planets, There are so many other planets out there some of them have to support life, But I didn't think they would be advanced enough to travel here until i saw the way that orb moved. They are watching us.

Looking west from our hilltop, this light was the brightest in the sky. It remained stationary for many minutes and then withdrew backwards. When I zoomed in with my iphone the shape was longer on the bottom with lights at each corner. I do have a picture on my phone.

Coming from south west in what appeared a link or train. 35 or so lights. They appear to have been in our atmosphere so not satellite. But i could be wrong. They traveled in groups to 4 and 5 heading north east.

Baker city, OR
From about 8:00pm untill around 11:00pm-1:00am, since early April 2019 through last night 2/8/20. Almost every night a very bright orb, that changes size and colors. Travels around the sky over our southwestern mountain range. At times it looks like a big light rotating or spinning in circles like a CD. And other times it glows likes a magnetic sphere, showing a variety of colors. It travels extremely fast, sometimes the size is enormous. Sometimes it gets as small as a basketball. I have multiple photos and videos from many different nights and times of year. It truly is magnificent!
February 6, 2020 · 5:30 PM · DISK
The Dalles, OR
My twelve year old son was in our backyard when he looked out over our town to the North (we live on a hill) and saw a disk on edge that was about 4 inches across at arms length and seemed to be 2-3 miles away, 500 to 1000 feet above the town, silently moving slowly away to the North. The side he saw was light in shade but had dark vertical stripes narrower than his fingers. He ran excitedly inside after looking at it to tell my wife but she was on the phone with me – I was at a hardware store and I knew what time it was from that. At the time it was fairly dark and cloudy. The object was gone when he went back to look at it.

Prospect, OR
I started driving slowly so I could watch the lights. I was coming up towards the brigde and the rock slide area and had to pay attention to the road. After I passed the rock slide area and the gorge I spotted the lights again. I could see two more to the north and 8-10 towards the south. I found a clear area to pull over and try to take photos and video with my cell phone, but could not see anything with it. It is a galaxy s7. I tried to call my husband to go outside and look too but later learned his phone had died and was unable to answer. I heard a noise from across the road and became spooked so I drove home. I again lost sight of the lights as I turned onto the Prospect access road. When I arrived home I brought my husband outside but we could not see anything, we could see the big dipper and to the north clearly but trees blocked our south view. It is a possibility that these may have been drones or a military exercise as there are often exercises performed up in our mountains and we have the air force base just over the mountains in Klamath Falls.

Cornelius, OR
Approx. 6:45pm upon arriving home i was looking north towards hillsboro and saw 2 bright orange blobs travelling on a very erratic course in a mostly nw direction. While traveling in the same direction, they both had different paths of flight. One went way up in the sky then just disappeared. Blinked out. The other continued across the sky in its seemingly drunken manner. Then not even 2 minutes later, here comes 2 more flying in the same weird crazy way. I went into the house looked back at the sky and there was 2 more, so i asked my roommate to come see and he confirmed that yes, he saw them too and had no idea what they were. Total time start to finish was 10 minutes roughly. Whatever they were, they were in no hurry to get where they were going.

Bandon, OR
I jumped out of my camper at Coquille Point in Bandon Oregon on the coast, looked in the sky and thought the stars were moving. Then I realized there were what looked to be stars, were silently moving over us. Then banking right after entering Bandon from to southwest off the coast. Now moving east still in line formation

Stayton, OR
I was driving on the Hwy in between the town's of Jefferson, Oregon, and Stayton, Oregon, and I just passed through the town of Marion, Oregon, and came to the only stop sign on that road when I looked up in the night sky towards the east when I saw a orange ball of light moving at a high rate of speed from the south to the north! It had no flashing FAA lights and after about 45 seconds to a minute it turn more red then orange and changed the direction from south to north to more the direction of N.NE AND before I knew it it disappeared the wind is blowing hard to night about 25 to 35 mph, to fast for any kind of drone to be flying!!!
