Light making a random circular path in 2-D then changing into a 3-D globe that changed colors and was stationary. Later saw 2 more.
I saw a bright light below the moon that appeared to be moving with my naked eye early in the evening when the moon was north moving to the northeast. I took pictures and videos with my phone but I could not get it focused to get close-up details. I looked at it with high quality binoculars. It looked initially like someone was pointing a laser and it moved in a random circular pattern much like you would do playing with a cat. Then it changed into a 3-D globe that changed colors but remained stationary. If someone was using a laser to play a joke they would get tired and quit. However, I kept checking on it and it continued to move with the moon. I finally got out my daughter's old education telescope to look at it and it was following the same switching pattern. However, with the telescope I could see 2 more to the right of the moon at different distances. I only saw stationary globes.
I tried to find anyone with a high power telescope to take pictures but it was around 12:30 when I started searching so I had no luck. I did try to contact you at the phone number you provide on your website.
I went out just now at 1:32 pm. The moon is almost straight overhead and too far to see any other objects. I am positive it was not Venus or Musk's StarLink satellites. I don't believe in alien spacecraft but I have never seen anything like I saw tonight.
Earlier in the evening before I saw the moon and first light, a couple of people reported low flying objects flying over their houses causing stuff to rattle and scared their kids and pets. One thought it was a helicopter. Their is a Army National Guard unit in Salem at McNary field and I have heard helicopters that sounded pretty low but not enough to make the house shake.
