Shape: Unknown

Summary : While in flight landing at Medford from Klammath Falls, I spoted what appeared to be another aircraft flying the opposite direction. Since the moon was setting, when this craft siluetted againt the moon, I could see it had no tail. I turned toward the craft, it turned toward me. The encounter ended with the craft flying formation with me for about 30 seconds, where I could see much detail of two craft.

This encounter may be too old to be of interest to you. I did report it to a Universite the day after, but I do not remember which University. I got the phone number from the Medford Police for the University. About 4 years ago I reported the encounter to Dr. Haynes. I only mention it to you now, because I still have relatives in Medford, who sent me a newspaper clipping of a recent sighting there, that mentions the name of your organization. If you have an interest in more detail, let me know, I will email you a full description. Russ Smith
