large metallic object crashed in woods in astoria oregon.

My friend and I were out riding mini bikes. we saw a large metallic obeject that was round and seemed to be crashing. It could have been landing, but it would have been a hard landing.

My father also saw it and he was over 1 mile away.

It landed above the Lewis and clark school in the woods.

NUFORC Note:

We will request that the father submit a report, as well, detailing what his recollection of the incident might be. We assume a daytime sighting, so we have amended the time of the alleged incident. PD
