NUFORC Sighting 12884

Occurred: 2000-05-15 21:55 Local
Reported: 2000-05-15 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 1-2min
No of observers: 1

Location: Woodburn (south of) on I-5 North @mile post 265, OR, USA

Shape: Light

A bright light was observed, not moving @ about 60 degrees above horizon. Without moving, it disappeared. It was observed for approx 1 min. the length of time I travelled from milepost 264 to 265 @ 62 mph.

The light was a bright white-lemon yellow color. It appeared larger than The planet Venus when I have seen Venus as the evening star. It appeared to be about the size of one of those red lights atop a cell-phone booster tower, but much, much further away--higer in the sky. I would guess it was approx. 60 to 75 degrees above the horizon. It did not move, it instantly vanished. I work as an RN in a maximum security prison, I travel I-5 between Salem and Portland 5 nights a week.
