Duration: 2 hours
No of observers: 2

Location: Bend, OR, USA

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Lights on object

I observed a single object at very high altitude. From my perspective it was in my Northeast direction then moved slightly Northwest with in the hour. It was so small I had to get my binoculars. It was oval with lights around the edge and slightly grey in the middle. The west side of object looked brighter since it was facing the sun. I would not have noticed it accept there was a much lower flying helicopter that past under the position of the object.

At least 2 airliners and the helicopter had passed by at different altitudes and times which gave me the perspective of great distant. I also went and got my roommate and she brought her binoculars out and saw it too. Since that day...I went outside at the same time Thursday, Friday and tonight to see if maybe this was a star. It was not! No object was in sight since then. I wish I could have taken a picture. My phone camera could not pic up the object.
