NUFORC Sighting 84427

Occurred: 2011-10-08 21:10 Local
Reported: 2011-10-08 21:35 Pacific
Duration: 15- 20 seconds
No of observers: 3

Location: Portland, OR, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

I was looking up at the moon facing South from my Southeast Portland front porch, when I saw some red and green lit object almost floating south in the sky. It would descend and then hover repeatedly for the time that it was visible.

I wasn't able to make out a shape, but I could definitely tell that it was not something that I had seen before (I've seen Chinese lanterns, weather balloons and meteors).

This was about the size of a small airplane by the formation of the lights on the object.

It disappeared behind the tree line.




NUFORC Note:

We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be exceptionally eloquent and objective in her description of her sighting. We suspect that she is a quite capable, and reliable, witness. PD
