NUFORC Sighting 19206

Occurred: 2001-08-17 22:00 Local
Reported: 2001-08-21 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 2 minutes


Location: Sisters (7 miles SW of), OR, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

2 identical objects seen at high altitude.

Me and my friend while camping observed what at first apperaed to be a satelite. I traveld in a straight North to South direction and at the approximate speed that a satelite would appear to be traveling. Moments after spotting this the inteity of the light increased 20 fold. The object faded from view a few seconds later. This was fallowed by an identical object that did the exact thing. The second object trailed by perhpas 30 seconds.



NUFORC Note:

Ignoring the events that reportedly had occurred over Wyoming and Colorado just minutes before this sighting, we believe this report describes an event that is indistinguishable from the flare of an Iridium satellite. We will check to see if an Iridium could have been visible at this time. PD
