NUFORC Sighting 77411

Occurred: 2010-08-24 23:15 Local
Reported: 2010-08-25 16:09 Pacific
Duration: 5 mins
No of observers: 5

Location: Vancouver, WA, USA

Shape: Fireball

2 fireballs hovering and possibly landing.

Saw a fireball moving toward me along a path close to the PDX flight path. The fire was trailing behind so it was obviously moving. It the stopped, hovered in place (visible with no obstructions of any sort) for about 2-3 minutes while we observed it.

At this time, other witnesses pointed out a second orange light which appeared to be much higher up and much further away. The nearby, hovering fire, then moved away from us and made a left turn; I could then observe it traveling straight downward (observed through a tree) until it disappeared near the ground.

The farther light became dimmer, flickered, then disappeared (may have moved behind a different tree causing us to lose sight of it).

NUFORC Note:

Date is flawed. We have amended the date above, and attempted, unsuccessfully, to reach the source of the report. PD
