Last night walking north on 39th ave, my father and I witnessed at least 100 red orbs that flashed coming from the west over the city of Portland at 10:00 pm.

At first, we thought they were planes. We were startled. We thought our city was going to become attacked. However, these objects were not planes. They made no noise. They were moving slowly but steadily at the same time.

They flashed red like a ball of fire. They would come together and then break apart. Then they would fade as they would rise straight up in the sky.

As I continued to walk north down 39th ave, a womn in front of me had also noticed the strange orbs in the sky and was on the phone to her girlfriend to come out and look.

I began speaking to the women and we watched the sky. We were at the corner of 39th and Holgate. The lights continued coming from the west over the city of Portland and moved north up 39th ave. Traffic had come to a stop and drivers noticed the lights in the sky.

This lasted for 15 minutes. One orb began to come in closer to us and then it faded and went straight up in the sky and vanished.

I have some of this on video from my phone.

There were lights on this orb.
