NUFORC Sighting 44385

Occurred: 2005-06-11 23:30 Local
Reported: 2005-06-13 17:21 Pacific
Duration: 7 minutes
No of observers: 20

Location: Gresham, OR, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Below cloud line circular bright red glowing object possible small white middle rotating- AMAZINGLY CHILLING!

I am from Portland, Oregon and my nephew video taped a sighting at approx 11:30 Saturday night 6/11 along with nearby neighborhood witnessing of a bright red glowing circular shaped object that might possibly have a small white spiraling center and near the end of the siting which lasted approx 7 minutes it protracted and retracted like a sea urchin (unsure if cell phone disturbance or what) and then shot back up into the sky.

Every one was freaking out, called 911, a neighbor policeman called dispatch. The object was below the cloudline. It was about the size of a dime visual from the ground and with his video camera zooming in you could see actual shape and graphics about 1/2 dollar size.

What I don't understand is why - when this happened two nights ago- has this not been aired on the news. There were reportings outside this neighborhood of the same sight from Washougal WA etc. How could this not be news worthy.

NBC (our channel 8 will be getting his video tape today). It looks like a planet that someone taped from a high powered telescope not a home video camera locally. After seeing it on video I can't get the image out of my mind and my wondering why this kind of thing does not explode all over the news.

It has indeed shaken up my reality.

Could you reply or forward this to someone who can answer this for me?

Sincerely, ((name deleted))
