A bright white aura was observed at roughly 3 AM, hovering above the Crooked River, Prineville, OR

This event took place 15 miles SW of Prineville, OR. GPS Coordinates: 44.204652, -120.895951.

A bright white aura was observed at roughly 3 AM, hovering above a remote stretch of the Crooked River.

My Fiancé and I were driving down SW Millican Rd when I observed a strange white light located above a non-accessible portion of the Crooked River. The center of the light was almost pure white. The elevation was roughly 200 feet above the River.

As I observed the light, I witnessed the light makes an illogical movement. It moved at a steady elevation, across the river and then onto a level potion of land. This type of movement would be impossible by a convention vehicle, as there are steep cliff and no road access.

The light then accelerated away from me and seemingly vanished. The movement reminded of a slot car on a track. How sudden and rapid it was. You would think hat this type of acceleration would injure almost anybody. This type of movement would be impossible by a convention vehicle, as there are steep cliff and no road access.

I can confirm that this object was not a drone or RC device. There was no noise. It was so silent outside that I could hear the distant hum of Power Lines. I returned in the daytime to find that there was not a single road or even any Cattle Grates in that area of Remote BLM Land.

I do mention that I felt very eerie in that moment. As if there was something else there. Like someone was watching.
