Wednesday July 10, 2019. Sisters, Oregon At approximately 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM I stepped from my room to see a large vertically oriented tube-like object. I stood looking at it puzzled, before I captured the following images in my iPhone.

I can only logically interpret what I witnessed it as a possible high altitude balloon, as the form would slightly change. The top appeared to be solid and would at times glow (possible light reflection from the sun). The middle section appeared amorphous, The bottom/lower segment also appeared to be solid and reflective or illuminated.

However, I could not positively identify the aerial phenomenon.

NUFORC Note:

High-quality photo submitted by witness, which shows a silver-colored tube, apparently hovering motionless in the sky. PD
