NUFORC Sighting 04951

Occurred: 1998-10-16 21:30 Local
Reported: 1998-11-29 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 10 sec
No of observers: 2

Location: Salem, OR, USA

Shape: Light


My husband and I were traveling south on I-5 north of Salem when a huge bright light appeared ahead of us mid-sky. It seemed to be over Salem. It shot downward at an incredible rate of speed, stopped, then disappeared just short of the tree line.

My husband and I are both prior military and, therefore, not apt to confuse human aircraft, weather ballons, or satellites with UFO's.
