No of observers: 3

Location: Medford (outskirts), OR, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Strange flashing whitish light that moved like a plane but then stopped and stood still for five minutes.

My brother, mother and I were driving along North Phoenix Road North towards Medford. We were in between Medford and Phoenix, perhaps the outskirts of Medford, around Campbell road, when I noticed a light flashing in the sky in front of us and a little to the right (East). It was flashing in a strange way, so I pulled to the side of the road. We got out and watched a UFO move steadily in our direction but somewhat to the East over the mountains. At first I thought it might be a plane, but the entire craft was flashing, as I said, in a strange way. It was about 2:30 pm, so it was broad daylight, and the light needed to be fairly bright in order to flash that way. The way that it was flashing gave me the impression that various parts of the craft were rotating. The whitish light was continuously emanating from it, but in different intensities and from different parts of the craft. So, the craft continued along and passed us, continuing South and a little East,! when it suddenly just stopped. I then knew definitely that it wasn't a plane. It sat there stationary, and still flashing, for about five minutes. We watched it for those five minutes until we had to go (we were late for something), so I have no idea how long it stayed in that position.
