I actually didn't see the object until I went back and looked at my pictures. I tried to zoom in on my picture to get a clearer view but don't have the equipment to do such a thing.

Happy valley, OR
Opened my window around 12:00 a.m. on September 24th and first noticed what I thought was a planet. I quickly realized it was changing colors from hues of blue, yellow, white red and green. I observed this light and about 4 others similar for 1 hour with zero movement in the sky, after being a little more courageous I moved from my bedroom to outside for a more clear view and noticed over 50 more changing orbs in a range of closeness in the eastern sky. I watched them for another hour to make sure none of thier positions were not moving. I woke up my family and they were shaken by the encounter. I've spoken to several other strangers and they too also witnessed what did last night, with color changing orbs with zero movement throughout hours of the early morning. Please note the photo attached was taken through an apartment window and does not reflect my full view of what I saw. I did not think my 0hone would even capture any light. I can upload a current picture at the same time of night to show I could not take pictures of any start or satellites through my bedroom window

Monmouth, OR
I was traveling south on highway 99 from Monmouth to Corvallis. My friend spotted a silver orb which appeared to be above the Corvallis area, we spotted it just as we were leaving the Monmouth area. We kept track of it for about 5 minutes, and then we lost it as we were passing Sarah helmick park. This is not the first time I have spotted a similar ufo in the same general direction, I spotted a simile ufo back in 2015/2016. No lights or any signs that it could have been an airplane or helicopter which are common in the area.

Lebanon, OR
My girlfriend and I felt a vibration for about 15 minutes, then I went outside and looked up to see a bright light moving slowly across the sky before disappearing into an invisible object. Another light came from another direction being chased by two helicopters and one airplane. One of the helicopters landed in Lebanon for a few seconds and then left not to be seen again. The vibration ended when the first UFO disappeared.

Pendleton, OR
Bright light over a hill around twilight. Thought was star or venus but it moved straight up at a steady pace, almost like a distant rocket or artillery illumination round (except rising instead of falling). Light disappeared into/ behind a rather thin cloud and did not emerge on other side. Did not see again after several minutes of observation. Time logged was approximate.

I was driving in my car, and saw a big oval-ish shape in the sky (which appeared to be shining with a white/silver color). I could tell it was flying fast, because after about 15 seconds it looked like a star in the night sky (It was day when I saw it). After about another 15 seconds it was so far away that I could not see it. The other people in the car couldn’t tell what I was pointing at.

Brookings, OR
I actually thought it was a plane at first. Two white lights in the sky, looked like a plane coming right at me. From the intensity of the lights, I thought it was fairly low for a passenger jet. I used to live on an approach path in CT about 15 miles from the airport, so I’m used to seeing those lights. We rarely get planes overhead at Crissey Field, and I love watching planes, so when I hear one I notice it. I watched it for several seconds, and it didn’t seem to get any closer. I took out my phone and filmed it for a few seconds, then stopped and adjusted my phone and filmed again for a few seconds, then stopped, turned the camera and filmed again for over a minute. I swear, that “plane” never got any closer. And I couldn’t hear a plane. And the lights never changed to green and red. I came inside, turned out the lights, moved something on the floor by the front windows so I could stand there. That took maybe a minute at the most. I opened the window, and the lights were gone. Could it have been obliterated by the fog rolling in? I suppose so, but I never heard a plane. Opened windows so I could hear better. I honestly have no idea what I just saw.

Bend, OR
My stepdad and I witnessed a fluorescent green tube of light glide across sky. It came from the southeast sky, glided above the neighborhood and across the sky into the northwest horizon. It was dusk so it was easy to see that there was no light trail or tail behind the green glowing “glow stick.” It was flying below airplane level and at about the level that helicopters fly at in that area. Based on its estimated elevation and distance from us, we guess that it was greater than 40 but smaller than 100 feet. The “green glow stick” made no sound and moved in a very straight, smooth line. Glided is the best way to describe its motion. Our background: we’re a regular ‘ol working-class family. My stepdad is retired from a local water district and I work full time. On the day of the sighting we were sitting on his back porch watching for shooting stars and faces towards the north-northwest when he noticed the “green glow stick” emerge from the corner of his eye out of the south-southeast. He called to me and my husbands attention to look several times. About the third time he said “hey look!” is when I saw the UAP. I watched it glide off into the N-NW.

Newport, OR
I was walking my dog & looked up to & saw a very bright star. Then once I got to looking at it, I saw that it was moving. It was moving quickly, it moved as if it was floating, but then would move quickly in a diagonal way. I watched for several minutes, & after realizing it was not a satellite & definitely not a plane & or helicopter (also due to I live on the Oregon Coast & there is very little airplane traffic if any), I ran inside & for my phone. I took a recording & a few photos. They aren’t the best quality, but you can see the cylinders moving. I’m not a prankster or a whacko…it is definitely something that I cannot explain.

I happened to look up to a light I thought would be venus, but this light was brighter than any planet, star, sun or medortite at this time of day. And me kicking myself in the butt for not taking my Samsung galaxy 20 ultra high definition phone. For the camera can take good pictures a mile away, or the moon. Approx 2 miles up. 45° due west over Pendleton Oregon. This isn't my first RODEO. I've seen them since 1978 in Oregon and Montana.

July 28, 2022 I went out on my porch to pee around 3:40 am and observed this object in the Southwest sky. I watched in disbelief and ran in and got my iphone. I photographed and video taped it until about 5:00 am when I finally went to bed. It would sometimes disappear and reappear but it was observable most of the time. I leaned against my truck and tried to hold my iphone camera as still as possible. It seemed predominantly a pulsating cube that would turn into a round object. You will see at times I zoomed in with my iphone camera. The light was a flashing white/yellowish, sometimes looking red. When I looked at it through my binoculars it looked like rubix cube with flashing lights with individual boxes on the outer edges and looked like it was spinning. When you zoom up you can see a halo of color around it. At one point when using my binoculars I saw a significantly smaller one slowly move away from it off to left side of it (East) then disappear. It appeared to get closer and further away.There was no sound. Please send me the details or call with any information you learn about this sighting. I have checked the night sky since then and have not seen it. I do not know how to tell how far away it was. I have 4 excellent videos of this craft moving radically and changing that are too big to send. How can I get them to you?

Stopped at train tracks after a drive at sunset through the country. Took photo of train out of vehicle. Photo contained image of 4 round white unknown objects. I did not see personally, only through the photo. I did see photo while in the same spot and noticed the objects, when I looked back up there was nothing. There were also no stars out yet it wasn’t dark enough. Took other photos to show that there were no stars…

My mom and I saw a teardrop shaped object making no noise moving up and down and sideways. It changed colors from red to green. Then it just disappeared. I captured it on video.

I suddenly saw a train looking object with two rows of light in sky for 3 seconds in sky. I took a video and my brother in law tool a photo but 6 other people saw it too. I did see the pictures for starlink satellite and was nowhere close to that. NUFORC: Starlink

We were in the tent and our dad was outside we did not have a fire that night, he suddenly yelled for us to get out of the tent and look at something when we finally got out with the dog there was a low flying craft just above the tree line on the other side of the lake, very large craft we thought it was a comet until it kept going. We took out our phones and tried to get a picture and it vanished infront of our eyes. The object was very large it was emitting green and red lights leaving a faint trail. SIDE NOTES: our dad stayed up longer and saw more things.

Corvallis, OR
I was laying on a rock beach at the Willamette River looking at the sky and noticed a white object lit up by the setting sun. It moved slowly in a SSE direction over the river. It had no wings. It was about as high up as a drone would be but made no noise. There was no smoke trailing behind it. It moved steadily across the sky, slowly making its way to the SSE in a straight line. The white lit up part looked linear like "cigar" shaped, but after zooming in on the pic it appears to be rounded and somewhat disc shaped.

My wife and I were sitting on our porch to observe the rising full moon and see meteors from the Perseid meteor shower. Emerging to the left of the moon we saw a small cluster of lights very slowly moving north. I took a photo of this then a short 5 second video. Not being in a straight line or moving faster I did not think it was the Starlink satellites. I switched my Iphone 13 to a higher video quality option and took a 2 min 58s video. During this time it hovered and/or slowly moved north. No sound. This object either had lights or the surface was reflecting the moon. I’m thinking reflection because as it moved north it started to dim. The “lights” changed orientation near the end. If it were triangle shaped and changed its angle it would make sense. In studying the photo I could see it was triangle shaped. I stopped the video to move out into our field to get a better look. By then I could still see it but it was so dim I didn’t choose to shoot more video. Shooting nearly directly into the full moon created havoc with the original video. I had to edit slightly to get rid of the brightness, work on contrast and pixelation. ** I am unable to send my 2 minute 58 second video due to its 2.23 GB file size. Allowed was just a very short clip and photo. In the photo the object is about 10:00 near the moon if you zoom in.

I was flying my drone taking aerial photos of where I live at about 200 feet when the battery starting getting low and I was flying it back to land it at home. When it arrived home I looked up at the drone and approximately 1800 feet above it was a double knife bladed object moving north to south above the drone at about I would say 75mph. Then it just dissapeared like it was never there. I kept looking for it but never saw it again. It was white with grey shadow on it. It was directly above the Cline Falls Bridge area.

My trail camera was set to take pics every 5 mins. My camera caught 3 pictures and it looks like the glowing orb moves maybe a couple feet but stays level and then disappears. I have before photos as well. There’s no light at this time and is on private/remote property.

I noticed this object in the sky above and beyond one of the ridges in the valley that we were camping. I held the camera as still as possible as the object hovered about in one general area. Upon watching the video, the object appeared to change colors and move in an abnormal way.

I woke up from dream that was not UFO related at around 1:26am. I stepped outside to smoke a cigarette. It is very dark where I live and you can see everything in the sky. I was looking straight up and towards the north at Orions Belt and saw an object that looked further than a satellite but slightly bigger. The object looked too far to make out any shape but did flash a gold-whitish light 4 times as it moved slowly through the Belt. After the 4th flash a flash behind it like a faint lightening flash and then it was gone. It seemed to just dissappear. About 5 mins later I saw a satellite moving north to south. Seeing satellites all the time this was definitely not a satellite!
