Triangular shaped object
I was driving west on State highway 4 between Rosburg and Naselle at about 20:00. I hadn’t even gotten a half mile from my house when I saw a triangular shaped craft floating slowly above tree line next to me, to the north. It was moving in a south easterly direction. The only thing in the are it was coming from is forest. The direction it was going is forest and rivers. I don’t remember what prompted me to look in that direction but, when I saw it I pulled my vehicle over and got out.
My girlfriend was following me in her car and I attempted to flag her down so she could see it too but, she just waved at me. I stood on the side of the road and observed the craft for about 3-4 minutes until it was out of my sight. There was no sound being emitted from the craft. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what it was; it wasn’t a modern aircraft that I knew of because there is nothing I know of that can move that slow and stay in flight except helicopt! ers, but they create a lot of rotor wash and noise. The craft had 3 lights on it, that I could see. I could only make out the shape, not the color as it was dark so all I could make out was a silhouette from the moon light. I can only speculate on the size, I guess it was about 100m in length.
When I got where I was going I told my girlfriend what I saw and asked her if she had seen it. She hadn’t and she thought I was just waving at her. Her mother and friend asked me if I had any missing time. I guess that’s a sign of abduction, who knows. There wasn’t any missing time. Once it was gone from my sight I got in my truck and drove off.
I was in highschool at the time, now in the military. I am totally guessing on the year. It had to be between 1997 and 1998. I'm pretty sure it was in the fall.
