No of observers: 6

Location: Salem, OR, USA

Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Standing in my kitchen window I noticed a multi colored light flashing in the Southeast about 3 or 4 miles up. Shaped as a diamond and flashing red, white, green and blue lights. It was stationary.

Standing in my kitchen, facing Southeast about 3 or 4 miles up, was a diamond shaped object flashing red, white, green and blue lights. It was stationary for 2 or 3 hours. 5 people watched off and on for about 3 hours. Another neighbor also watched this object. 1 person who stayed up and kept checking on it said later there were more objects and that they formed a pattern in the sky. I went on the web to check Dr. Sky and see what was in the SE area and Jupiter seemed to be the only object. Could it have been Jupiter I thought? But flashing colored lights? Very strange. We believe we saw a UFO, however I wish it would have been closer.
