Until that July, none of us had ever seen a Flying Object that was Unidentifiable. We have been camping together for many years now, so with all the latenight fireside chats the need to Identify has occured. It was around 1:30 am when I first noticed a odd lingering greenish light moving SLOWLY over the treed hills. At first I thought It was smoke from fireworks, BUT when in full veiw the shape was too triangularly defined. I asked for an opinion and recieved confirmation that it was MORE! The last log was burning low enouph and approaching closer a STARTLING sight it was. Then my husband had to shine a bright flashlight at it and within 5 mins. It made a very clear change in direction OUR WAY. It reached the lake that we camp on and I began to PANIC, It was HUGE!!! (3\4 or more the size of a football field) Uncontrollably shaking with tears in my eyes I went for witnesses. when we got back to the lake it was nearly over us. It had three lights, one on each corner the front light was the brightest. The area between each point was a translucent greenish\blue color. It made a strange two tone subsonic type low hummmmmminggg sound. Heading N.West it moved rythmaticly with a soft up\down appearance at the frant of it. I was SOOO scared, all in total AWE we had to sit. At about 3:00 am it was over the sand dunes, but thankfully past us. Allthough still in uor sights everyone was very tired and wanted to retire for the night. I could not take my eyes off of it, I watched it from our moterhome window. At around a 3:45/4:00 am it dissappeared with a sheetlightning or Giant camera FLASH. On our way home we stopped by a favorate place to dine in a nearby town Mapleton OR. we noticed that the paper mentioned it. When we returned from our vacation, We reported our "sighting" to the Unsolved Mysteries & Sightings Websites. This was in 1997 and I cant seem to get it off of my mind. If anyone else has seen or heard simular reports. PLEASE POST IT!!! Sometimes I feel so alone in the effect it had on me. In ways I w! ish that I could pass it off as a Military thing as I have other pacullar flying crafts, but I DONT BELIVE THAT! As far as our personal backgrounds... My husband I own two businesses, I manage both of them, My spouse is a ((deleted)) Training Tech. for the State of Oregon, others hold professional positions.
