Characteristics: Lights on object

Golden flying wing.

It was just after midnight. I was looking up and noticed what I thought may have been an owl at first flying low and close to street lights. The reason I thought that was because the light given off was a golden or light orange color. Then I realized the figure was up higher and moving faster. I thought it was a plane but it had no blinking red or green lights. By this time my friend was looking on. We both notice how fast it was moving though it was not streaking.

My freind said it looked like it had a bar of lights on the underneath side of the craft. I would resemble it to a flying wing that was completely illuminated on the underside with its lights having partioning lines between them.

It appeared so large at first that I thought it could have been an owl perhaps 50 yards away illuminated by street lights. This thing just kept on going and was out of site much more quickly than a plane that stared out looking that big. The direction it was flying in was southwest. It disappeared within a span of 15 seconds. Again, it appeared to have the shape of a flying wing or just a bank of lights like a somewhat rectangular thing flying with the wide side forward.




NUFORC Note:

We believe that a wedge of migratory birds would first have to be ruled out, before it could be concluded that the witnesses observed a genuine UFO. However, please see other reports from Portland, OR, and Idaho for the same date. PD
