Bright lights from miles away to within 150 yds and 300 ft in the air.
Driving with wife on I-5 N bound at 1 AM. Just leaving Woodburn area and noticed bright lights over NW and SW Portland coming my way. Told the wife that was a strange pattern for an aircraft. The lights on what looked like landing lights on a large aircraft continued toward us. As I was approaching Wilsonville area it came staight at me then went out of sight within a 150 yds to the East of the freeway. There was no explosion or anything. if it was a helicopter or plane why would the lights go out while still 300 ft in the air.
