Oval shaped object circled around directly above, then dipped down, changed form, became obscured by blurry air and disappeared.
Oval shaped object was probably 8-10 ft in diameter, and was first observed at cloud height (maybe 1000ft?) in Hillsboro near the Quatama area. The object circled around directly above for maybe 10-15 secs in broad sweeping motions, then dipped down toward southwest direction, appeared to change form into a narrow vertical cylinder, became obscured by blurry air and disappeared. I initially thought the object was going to drift out of view over a nearby housing building, but the form change to the blurred view sequence all occurred with the object in sight before just vanishing altogether.
The oval object had a trapezoidal hockey puck look at first sight- with a white rectangular window of some sort visible that appeared to be halfway up the sides that sloped inward toward the top of the object. Due to the spinning, there may have been other details that were not observed.
The puck form appearance was visible for 25-30 seconds. The form change and blurry air sequence that followed the broad circular sweeping motions all happened within a second and then it was gone.
No sound observed, no visible means of propulsion could be made out. Hillsboro Airport is nearby, so planes, private jets and even fighter jets are pretty commonly heard and seen, especially during the annual air show weekend. No other aircraft were observed during the brief window this puck object was observed.
