Reported: 2007-09-25 17:09 Pacific
Duration: 1 + hours
No of observers: 2

Location: Damascus, OR, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Huge ball of light seen in eastern sky at 6 am Sept 25, 2007 east of Gresham, Oregon.

Huge circle with arms of lights criss crossing bottom of object. Surrounded by very small lights scattered like glitter all around the outer perimeter of object. It was still dark outside and viewed through a spotting scope all I could see were the lights. I lined it up with some trees to see if it was moving across the sky and the object seemed to remain stationery for a long period of time. When daylight started it got smaller and smaller and finally faided out of sight. I will check again at 6am in the morning to see if it may have been a satellite, but it just seemed way too big and close for that. A satellite travels and this was stationery. It was east of Gresham/Damascus looking toward Mt Hood at 6am.
