NUFORC Sighting 120266

Occurred: 2015-07-09 23:15 Local
Reported: 2015-07-09 23:39 Pacific
Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Portland, OR, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

Shape unknown but multicolored lights stopped in mid descent then went diagonally before dropping straight down out of sight.

At first I assumed an airplane approaching PDX, but it completely stopped well up in the southeastern sky. Seemed to have had red lights plus a secondary color, perhaps yellow or green.

After hovering a moment it slowly descended diagonally before dropping straight down out of my sight. Seemed to drop in front of tall firs perhaps 1000 yards from me.

Don't have word processor but was compelled to report.
