Reported: 2001-03-24 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 5 min
No of observers: 2

Location: Beaverton, OR, USA

Shape: Light

3 lights seen floating up Hwy 26 at aprox. 9:30 PM, looked kinda orange and connected to each other!

They were sort of hanging in the sky and didn't look like the rest of the sky! Then as we slowed way down on the freeway, as did the car putting on their brakes in front of us to watch as these strange lights came closer. They were I would say traveling at a speed of say 60-120 mph about 200-500 feet above the freeway and appeared to be following the freeway! As they went directly over our car I rolled down the window and looked up at what seemed to be 2 lights about say 4-6 feet apart making up each of the three lights which were traveling in a line with the first one lower then the second higher and the last one being the highest. They just kind of floated of down the freeway. They didn't seem to move away from each other at all as if all part of a much larger unseen craft. I called the Hillsboro Airport and they said they had no reports of any strange lights that night and acted disinterested. I was going to let it go until I saw the other posting in Beaverton.
