1999-09-07 - Lake Oswego, OR - Light

While listening to Peter Davenport on Art Bell's Show 9-7-99 about the UFO reports out of Oregon, I decided to go outside during the break to go outside and take a look for UFO's. After about 2 minutes of observation I spotted a 3 light formation directly overhead moving slowly from N.W. to S.E. Estimated altitude was minimum 40,000ft. to orbit altitude. The formation was that of a triangle if you connected them together but not a perfect triangle (all three sides would be different lengths) I do not believe this was one object but 3 separate objects since stars could be seen between them. Each object was not larger than a star or satelite. Each one of the lights were moving in sync with each other as if connected. After about 5minutes of travel across the sky (observed through binoculars) each light separately went out with the last light to go out being the brightest. I am a Private pilot (glider rating) and have 100's of UFO sighting's (90%) daytime -one as close as 50 feet!
