Brooks, OR
Driving in slow lane southbound I-5, when we witnessed a huge bright whitish star-looking light in southwestern sky. We noticed the light was to large and to be a star and kept growing in size and intensify. We also noticed the object was moving towards the freeway. The light on this object stated to fickler as it moved over I-5. The large light then went out and we both got very quiet as we could see a triangle shaped craft with three small lights on it. As we continued down I-5, we drove right under it and through the sun roof on my highlander I could see two small windows on the side of the vehicle. The object was black and hard to see. I have seen strange objects in the sky in this area before. The entire area between Woodburn and Salem is very deserted.

We had 10 acres in cut hay. I woke up around 2am walk out the back door of the little house which my wife and i were using at the time to pee. I had a clear view of the hills about 1.5 miles away. It is a flight path for planes landing in Eugene Oregon about 20 miles away. 737 planes were common objects. I spotted it and its size amazed me. I continued to watch and my first reaction was how slow it was moving. Its bulk and lack of movement made me wonder how it could even fly. I figured its length was 6-7 planes long. the nose looked like a plane only much larger and carried this shape along the side I could see. It had what looked like massive plates on its surface with the area of what I call the nose curve a black shiny surface like a dark tinted window. It continued to move to the right and started to rotate to the left starting to show the back of the triangle. It looked to be a flat black surface with a radius at both ends. There were two round lights at both ends and the center of the lights were large black dots making the lighted parts look like thick lines. There did not appear to be any power source. When it stopped its rotation, it was a dead stop move to an angle shift in direction. I wanted to get my wife, but I did not want to miss a single moment. I have wanted to report this for years. I wrote down what I saw and drew a picture. Several years later my wife and I were in Cottage Grove Oregon and were stopped by the edge of town and 737 jet swooped right down on top of us and I thought it might crash. What it did was start to climb up with its engine's pointed directly at us. At this point I rolled my window down look at my wife and said listen there is no sound. We should have been getting an engine back blast, but there was no sound. We where shocked.

Saw a teardrop shaped light with a blue green leading edge the big circular part, the body was bright white, appearing like a flag, waving, same visual effect, tapering to a point, where it was red. I'd was definetly losing altitude, it went behind some trees... Blocking my view, I waited for a BOOM but nothing.. Between a quarter and a nickel sized "image" if the coin was held at arms length

Springfield, OR
Looking down our street I saw a red steady glowing light moving in the air coming from the North East and moving right over our property heading South West. As I watched it, ahead of it were two more. They were spaced about a half block apart and following the same path. I dashed in the house and hollered for my husband. When he came out, he got to see two of them. I saw a total of five. Absolutely no sound came from them. I have cataracts so they appeared to me like fire red star burst balls like the size of headlights on the hwy.. My husband saw a slight square or triangle shape glowing steady fire-red. We were just amazed. We have never seen anything like it.

Brightwood, OR
While checking the mail with my wife we noticed a singular shimmering round orange fire color orb in the sky below the clouds. A very dark night with overcast clouds. The area that it was in was all sky with no mountains or trees or buildings in the background. As we were walking away it faded out to a small dot and disappeared. The object stayed stationary the whole time.

Vancouver & Portland, OR
While watching fireworks in Vancouver I noticed a non-blinking red light extremely high in the sky traveling quickly from NW to SE. I had my girlfriend look and she also stated it was bright red and wasn't blinking. There were a couple of commercial jets also visible at very high altitude and you could clearly see white blinking lights on them. As we were watching it, it blinked out and was gone. Approximately one hour later four of us were heading home and were traveling south and had just crossed the Willamette river when I noticed what looked to me like three bright red balls all connected in a triangular shape. This object was to our right towards the city of Portland and was very low. It also appeared to be extremely large. Three of the four of us were looking at it when it simply vanished. A few moments later, I looked back and it had reappeared but then we lost it due to the trees and terrain.

Yachats, OR
My boyfriend, our friend and myself watched the Yachats fireworks show tonight at the Yachats State Park. The beautiful show finished up when my group noticed a bright purple orb/round craft hovering eastward over the mountain tops. It stayed stationary before steadily moving upward and in erratic circular motions before disappearing over the other side. I have a feeling many people witnessed this considering how many large groups were all gathered outside at the time.

Northwest Medford, OR
While walking dog in my neighborhood, I saw a bright rectangular shape in the sky. It had rectangular lights that began from left to right, 1 white, 2 reds, 1 white. I thought at first that it was a plane, but rather than moving forward, it first hovered without any movement- just stayed in the same spot in the sky. It then moved left - sideways. It hovered again briefly, moved downward, then flashed all lights three times together, then disappeared!

Getting into my car in the early AM, facing west I looked out my windshield and saw a large, blue orb shaped object shoot across the sky where it broke off into 3 other orbs that shot different directions and then disappeared.

6/18/2016 Time: 8:45PM PST. An orange solid very bright oval object crossed through the window just to the right of my TV view screen. The window is located in my vaulted area of me ceiling above my front door. When I saw it I was awe struck with the size and orange brightness as it progressed to the right side of my window. A few moments later, another Bright orange same size solid object came into view in line. I jumped up went outside. There they were. Suddenly, a third was in view from the East coming in my direction. I ran back inside and grabbed my wife out of bed. We both saw the third and then a fourth. They seemed to be in formation. As they got closer they began to go towards the right or South. As they moved silently, I noticed there was no sound. I also looked for wind. It was a perfect dusk night. No wind. No sound. Just more lights. I told my wife to go back inside and grab her cell. At first she could not see anything on the cell display. She handed me the phone and I held it up into the sky at the objects regardless and pushed the button in hope it might see something. The photo is included with this report. Unfortunately, the image does not show a very clear shot. The good news is there is a tree, house, low small cloud in the image for comparison. I went back in the house as the objects disappeared towards the right into the trees. A put on my pants and went back out just in case. Who knows, perhaps they would circle around? My neighbor was coming around the corner in his car. He asked if I saw some -thing? Told him hell ya. He said he say them also and his daughter also saw them from the house.

Gold Beach, OR
Noticed a round craft moving slowly west to east fully exposed. Resembled two pie plates, when it dipped to the side you could see the full circle it was very bright, almost a flash. Unsure if it was a light or a very bright reflection. Very visible with my polarized sunglasses, very difficult to see without. At times it would hover, mostly it moved slowly - there was no sound at all. Moved up a draw between two mountains and disappeared behind trees.

Disappeared moments later and then a flash from southwest. Co-workers and I saw this leaving work at 10:30 coming down a hill facing south. Looks like it could have been over Happy Valley or Johnson Creek. Unsettling/eerie. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

McMinnville, OR
Was walking to my car approximately midnight and saw a bright red object near the vicinity of Jupiter (due West, approx. 15 degrees above the horizon) which I mistook for Mars at first. The object proceeded to grow dimmer and brighter with no particular pattern as it moved South-Southwest through the sky. Moved about five degrees then went from being a single point of light to a dim, hazy disc (still reddish) with some wobbly angular momentum. It seemed to come down near the South end of town, but it was very hard to perceive any dimensions on the craft, including its position in regular space. It almost looked like a popped balloon when it was near the ground, and I would say it was, except for its bizarre behavior when it was in the sky and the fact that it only took about 5 minutes to descend, which would be impossible from its (apparent) height, even for an object in free-fall.

Late on Sunday night, I was laying in my room, when I heard an extremely loud high pitched noise and a buzzing noise. I walked up to the window and opened the curtains. My previously pitch black room was filled with with white light, and it flashed multiple colors before stopping. I could see a huge black oval shaped object.

Portland, OR
I was driving from Clackamas to Portland. I decided to drive over the hill through Happy Valley. As I was driving up the hill, I saw a huge flash of light that lit up the whole sky around the hill. As I'm driving down the hill by Willamette National Cemetery, I saw another flash of light. Then again, as I'm headed west on Foster towards 205. Driving North on 205 I saw another flash. I get off the freeway headed towards Columbia BLVD and as Im turning to go west on Columbia I saw like a lightning bolt. As I'm driving west on columbia BLVD I get out my phone and start recording. I saw one more flash the weird thing is we've had no thunder and lightening today. This was very strange to me. I was in McMinnville, OR, on the date indicated, and there was a very active lightning storm in progress, at the time indicated by the witness. The flashes the witness alludes to may very well have been lightning, we believe. PD

My friend and I were walking back to my house and we were just about to get onto the bridge when I had noticed what I had thought was some sort of super huge flashlight shining bright across the river but when I fixated on the object, it turned out to be just a ball of light like literally an orb. It was hovering above the river at riverside park and there was also an elderly lady who was near us and she even said did you see that? As she reached for her phone. And I said yeah what was that. I went to grab my phone too but remembered it had died, and my friends had recently broken that week, I didn’t know the other woman but I sure hope she at least got a picture. Either way, it was surreal. We were all stunned because of the way that it flew away and disappeared. No plane can fly all zig saggy like that and that quickly. I also am not sure how it was able to seem like it was not that large when it was so close to the river. In my eyes it looked like it was so close to the surface of the river at first. I just have no idea what that was and will always wonder for the rest of my life. It was a very strange experience and if two other people hadn’t of been there to see it with me I honestly would have probably thought I was losing my mind. I just found this site and I looked back around the time I saw this and other sightings of the same thing seemed to have happened in Oregon California and Washington. I am sure others have seen it too. I can’t wait til the government comes clean about things, so we can find out what these UFOs really are. They probably know how to make us live forever too I bet, kinda messed up how many lives could be saved if better people ran the country/world.
