Oregon UFO Sightings in 2006

Full Report Text:

Big Metal Ball. Glowing. It was about midnight on a dark starry night in late 2006.

A friend and I had been having long talks outside beside the trees of the surrounding forest. We were just chatting when I noticed a star that was especially bright and seemed to almost bob up and down. It was a little windy that night so I can see its movement.

It would move across the sky in strange patterns and sometimes would just stop and observe. I felt watched. Deeply.

My friend started to cry and after the event neither of us could describe it without getting tongue tied. I still remember it. It was so bright and looked like a big metal ball.

It almost seemed to have a character about it. As if itself were a being. It was the most mind altering experience and really brought out the truth in me.

McMinnville is a place for UFOs . ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

Bright planet type light that went nova and shrunk to nothing. Hurt my skin and eyes. Went outside to have a smoke.

Was sitting looking due south. Somewhat clear night. I immediately was what I thought was Jupiter, but very bright and larger than ususal.

Then I though, wait a minute, Jupiter should be in the east. The moon was out 2/3 full to the left/east of this light. A jetliner was passing to the left of the moon and the object.

Light/large star continued to just be there for a minute or so. Then all of a sudden it started to grow large, very large, about 1/3 the size of the moon. Very,very bright.

The brightest white light I have ever seen. My mind was racing looking for any other lights around it-like landing lights-or sound, no sound, it was dead silent. As this light reached its maximum.

It shrunk down to nothing very rapidly and --nothing. Later that night my eyes were very uncomfortable and my face cream burned when I put it on. The next morning, fog had come in, and the oncoming headlights of traffic hurt my eyes badly.

I had to wear sunglasses half the entire day. Felt weird. My nextdoor neighbors porch lights went out.

Did anyone else see this? I don't wear glasses, I have excellent vision, I worked in aviation for 5 years.

Bright light over Aloha, OR, travelling fast At 7:35PM I went outside to smoke a cigarette and was looking up at a plane flying from south to north when I saw it pass nearby what I thought was a bright star. Then I noticed that the bright star was moving toward's me very fast. It flew directly over head travelling from west to east and took all of a minute to pass from where i first saw it on the horizon to the distance in the east and fade away.

The reason I think it was a UFO because it had no blinking lights, the center of it appeared to be white light with 3 streaks of green light protruding out from it. It was quite bright and made no noise that I could hear. Also when it faded away in the distance it appeared to be a redish color as it got further away.

I saw a steady white light traveling west to east over Brookings, OR. It was bright and traveling fast. Because it had a steady white light and no blinking red or green lights, I am guessing that it was not an aircraft.

I suppose it could have been a satelite though.

Green and White Falling Object, Near Ashland, Or I was stopped at a stop sign and looked to the East. East of Talent (near Ashland), I saw a large light travel towards the ground. It was a large object White and Green in color.

From my point of view I could not see if the object hit the ground or not. I watched the object for almost 2 seconds before it went down behind the hills to the East. This object was too big to be a shooting star, and the green color was nothing I have seen before in the night sky.

The object traveled from West to East covering nearly half the night sky in 2 seconds.

formation of lights 4 white 1 red with amazing sign-wave pattern over entire craft. I viewed a formation of lights that came in from the north east and traveled south, four white lights and one red, they hovered in the sky briefly then flew directly over head, there was no sound and no contrail, these craft had no visible navigation or anti-colision lights. I was amazed as they passed over head the craft were brightly lit, and the light seemed to move around them in a sign-wave pattern like you might see on a oscilloscope or frequency generator, and they were all at the same frequency.

I am a pilot and licensed mechanic with a strong background in engineering and design, I have been viewing aircraft for thirty years I have never seen anything quite like this I had my camera and was able to get a couple of photos, these craft were faster than normal aircraft I only had time to point and shoot, I think it is very notable that this sighting had taken place on a day with heavy (chem-trail) spraying? Thanks.

Two nights after my first encounter I spotted another last night! I was out on my porch watching the stars when one of them moved. The object was brighter than most of the stars, but the light pulsed unlike other stars I had seen. The movement of this particular object was that it moved much like how an eel would through water.

As I stared at it it even looked like it had a tail that slithered through the air. I watched if for about 45 minutes until it moved out of my line of site. I also heard a constant high pitched sound, the amount of time, but that could have been from anywhere.

I do live in the middle of the city.

3 flashing lights at exact distances crossed entire sky over a field and ducked behind a hill in less than 2 minutes. From my porch i saw what at first i figured were 3 helicopters on the horizon at 9 pm. Looking out over a field in rural oregon every night i am well aware of the distance of landmarks in sight and how fast and far planes, helicopters, and satellites etc.

move in relation to them. these 3lights moved way too fast to be any of the aforementioned in my opinion and stayed at perfect equal distances from each other while moving rapidly across the sky at about 45 degrees from the horizon. it appeared to me they were holding together a massive disc shaped object.

sort of like the way you can see the dark side of the moon just a bit because you know it is there. by the tiome i grabbed my girlfriend and dad, about one minute had passed and the lights were just beginning to duck behind a hill. gone a few seconds later.

by this point they had traveled one quarter of the horizon in less than two minutes . this takes jets more than ten several times a day. all while remaining perfectly equal distances in relation to each other.

i am a 26 year old male who plays music and doesnt care one way or another about what is in the sky, except that this REALLY freaked me out. On a side note my dad expressed a in intense felling of DE JA VU.

I was sitting outside on my porch after midnight. As I sat there I looked out above my neighbors house to see two stars about an inch apart and one slightly higher in the sky than the other. Object A was very bright and the light from it faded in and out, much like a star; Object B was much duller and both were too far to see any shape to them other than they were circular.

Anyways, as I sat and stared Object A glided to the left and Object B followed, trying to keep the same distance they had before. Over a span of the hour and a half these objects moved left, right, up and down while gradually moving NE without breaking their original space in between. After watching them for that span of time, they moved out of sight.

I did notice that when planes or helicopters were in the sky, they stayed perfectly still, but moved as soon as they were a good distance away.

This all started earier in the day, as I fired some small arms, I noticed a sound of thunder then a sonic boom then the sounds of a jet flying. However you could never find the jet when you looked up. This continued all day.

Then later, I was walking my dog on our 44 acres before dinner and then heard the Jet sound following a thunder sound. So, I looked up awaiting the jet or jets to fly by. Then all of the sudden, I saw what looked to be a 8-10" black bird chasing another just like it.

However they were flying very fast like just under the sound barrier! The first one looked as though it was being pursued by the second. They moved around each other in a dog fight,like dog fighting jet planes! Then I noticed the second one had what looked like a "blue like" triangle over it, and when it seemed to accelerate up to catch the first one, seemed to let outr a little puff of steam or smoke! Then as they streaked out of sight making a LOUD JET NOISE OF A FIGHTER JET, I looked to see a triangle flock of these "JET BIRDS"! They flew in a triangle formation after the first 2 and went off up lone mountain towards the coast. This is real and scary! It frightened my dog and wife so much! I had to report this! PS- They seemed to look like "dead birds" shot out of a gun or? i.

e. the birds never moved their wings! PSS- We were affraid to report this! We feel the government or UFO (ET's) may not want us to have seen this!.

4 lights moving South to North 4 fast moving lights. No specific color. 1 light at each vertex (3), with 1 light centered on trailing edge (?).

See next. Moving South to North. Tranversed about 15 degrees of the sky in about 5 seconds, at about a 30 - 35 degree angle up from viewing location.

Lights were dim, not much brighter than dimist star that can be see by the unassisted eye. Unknown altitude, distance or speed. No sound.

Lights held formation while in view (about 5 sec). Felt they were moving fast, but without any distance or altitude information, unable to guess. I do not believe they were birds because, there were no variations in the distance between the lights, nor brightness.

No sounds, so don't believe it was an airplane, unless a glider was flying at 1:30 AM, not likely. ((NUFORC Note: The formation did not survive the transfer from our e-mail program to the database program. PD)).

hotdog style. it had like red lights that blinked and one white light in the back. it was probably 200 feet in the air and maybe 80 feet long.

it was hard to tell from the side of a hill i was on. i ran up to the highschool field to get a better look but by then it had flown over portland, a 30 minute drive. there was a jet that flew right by the UFO.

white light near bridge in white city, oregon Driving home from town on Wednesday night, at about 9:05, we saw a large white light in the sky. As we neared it we saw that it was hovering just above the trees. As we got closer we saw that it had blue and red lights as well as white ones.

It was so close that we couldn't really see it's shape, and the lights were very bright. Some of the lights were blinking, and some were scrolling across the bottom. Less than a minute after we passed it, we went back to get a better look -- and it was gone.

The following friday night we saw it again at about 9:45. It was a bit higher in the air that time, and my daughter watched it go up and speed off about a minute or two after we passed it.

Unknown Object Over Cannon Beach On a short visit to Cannon Beach Oregon on September 16, 2006, roughly 13:30 I snapped a photo of the beach scenery with my digital camera. Upon later review of my photo (Sept 17, 2006) I noticed a small unidentified object in the photo. When i zoom in on the photo (which is 5 mega pix), the object appears metalic, spherical, and does NOT resemble a plane.

I only have this one picture and did NOT see the object when taking the picture. I was looking for someone to help identify the object in the photo. If you are the wrong party, can you please point me in the right direction.

UFO looking like a star flew overhead. Only one sighted. UFO was seen shooting across the sky faster than an airplane, but took 30 seconds to get across my line of sight.

Knew it wasn't an airplane because there weren't any flashing lights, and it was too fast for an airplane. It seemed to be at least 1000 feet higher than an airplane would usually fly at, and there was no sounds. Complete silence.

Little white dot in the sky. Looked like a star, but it was moving. Only one ufo sighted.

Object seen east of Portland Airport at 1:25pm Moving steadily south and level saw an object for just one second,east of Portland Int'l Airport. I was driving and saw the object above trees moving steadily south. It was NOT ascending as all planes from airport would be.

It was somewhat longer than it was high, no lights, it was daytime. It dissapeared from my sight as the trees obscured it. It may have entered the low clouds.

Did not see it as we passed the trees nor was any plane visable at the moment. Turned car around and was back at the same spot shortly looking for perhaps a tethered balloon, but there was none. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

PD)).

bright circular moving light above tree tops Driving on Murphy Hwy, heading toward Grants Pass. About 5 miles from the city of Grants Pass I saw a bright, white light, round and some sort of rotation of the light shining over the tree tops. It appeared to be coming from below the object.

The light was not shining above, as if a helicopter was searching the ground with a huge light except the light was moving in a circular movement. Light very white bright. I was driving and kept looking behind me and could see the light still rotating and lighting up the trees.

The light which looked like a giant spot light was above the tree tops, maybe 500 ft.

Brilliant with varied shape, blinks out and moves to another part of the sky in one second before blinking out again. Only saw for about 3 or 4 seconds. I was driving east facing Portland on Canyon Lane.

The object was above Portland's West Hills close to Sylvan. It caught my eye as I cleared some trees. Whatever it was looked brilliant, a silver white light.

The shape varied in it's dimensions. At that point I was trying to figure out what I was looking at, when it just blinked out! Then came back in about a second, a good distance from where I first saw it. I was amazed at how fast it had moved! I'd never seen anything like this in the 25 years driving on weekend nights after work.

Then it blinked out again and I lost it. I continued to look as I drove but never saw it again.

Unidentified Falling Object - Not Meteor. One very large falling object seen North by Northwest of Medford Oregon. Falling object was silverish blue with a white aura and very short trail.

No smoke or long trail common with an object like a meteorite. It fell quickly from high in sky down below the visible horizon. Approximately 15 minutes later 2 military helicopters approached the airspace near where it was seen while 2 F-16s were observed in a holding pattern outside that area.

Lot's of unusual air-traffic in the area for 5-6 hours afterwards.

I came home from work and a neighbor called me over to view what they had been watching. I said "it's a bright star" My Neighbor said watch for a few seconds and that's when it started moving around the sky in a side/up movement, paused then moved straight down and then strait up. When the craft stopped moving we noticed small bright drops falling from the craft every two seconds if I remember it was about four of them.

At this time we woke up two other households. They witnessed the same movement we saw earlier with the up and down side to side. Before the craft vanished it turned a bright orange color and then vanished.

I saw the same thing a few months later in Sunriver Oregon on New Years Eve working the late shift. about five minutes after 12:00am in the NW part of the sky, the same location the first sighting was seen I noticed a star that should not have been where this was. I radio'd other people working "Want to see a UFO"! Most on the evening shift came running out and saw what seemed to be a UFO.

A small group of the bar croud whitnessed the same thing. A bright object moving sporadically then dropping small bright lights out every two seconds, turned orange then vanished. This lasted about 10m minutes after we first sighted the craft.

The final UFO sighting was in the summer of '07. I had to respond to an alarm at one of the golf courses at approx. 1:00 AM.

I showed up the same time as the local police, we checked over the club house to find a false alarm. As we were wrapping thing up I saw a very fast moving bright light moving from West to East and asked the officers "What do you think that is"? She said a satalite, Jet, and by this time it had moved from the Cascades to Easten Oregon and the final response! "Don't know". I'd like to know if anyone else has seen these objects during these time frames.

Warmest Regards Central Oregon Sightings.
