Something is going on in Eugene Oregon.

If you read the reports for Eugene/Springfield, Oregon, many people are reporting the same type of sighting. These reports are spread across many months/years.

I saw the UFO last night on a walk in west Eugene. Was a bright light moving across the sky from west to east. This was about 5 miles south of the Eugene airport and directly in the landing/takeoff path of aircraft from the airport. If you look at a map of the airport you will see the main runway runs north to south, so this UFO crossed directly across the path of normal air traffic. I haven't see an airplane ever move in an west to east pattern this close to the airport.

Craft details. I have no idea how to judge the height or speed of the UFO. It was much too bright and moving to slow to be a satellite. We did see satellite about 10 minutes after the UFO was gone for comparison. The craft flew directly over head and was completely silent. As it moved east, it finally sped up and was not visible any longer.

About 30 minutes, we either saw the same UFO or one that looked exactly like it. It was moving south to north at a rapid pace, but was far to the east of us. An airplane with blinking light was moving in the opposite direction at the same time, but the UFO was much quicker and appeared to be at a much lower altitude.

I also believe we saw this UFO on July 4th. We were north of the Eugene Airport by 10 miles. The light appeared to be south of the Airport and stopped hovered for about 10 minutes. Then disappeared.

I would assume this UFO is some sort of manmade device, but it is very hard to speculate on its speed and height as there is nothing to use as a reference. It also does not follow the normal traffic pattern of aircraft that frequent the airport.
