slow moving object over north west portland oregon
To whom it may concern.
While at work this evening (8/6/05) at approximately 8:30 p.m. p.s.t. I was standing in the doorway of the business I work at catching some fresh air and watching people.
About 5 blocks further North of us is a condo. As I looked in this direction I viewed what I thought at first to be a plane emerging from approximately 1/2 to 1 mile from behind the building. As I watched this "plane" I thought it to be moving too slow to be acting like an average small plane like a cesna type. I kept watching this object as its flight path took it due South over N.W. 4th Ave over Downtown Portland Oregon. My store is located on the corner of 4th Ave. and West Burnside Street and it took this object approximately 6 minutes to travel 1/2 to 1 mile behind the originating building which is located at N.W. 4th Ave. and Flanders Street (which is about 5 blocks North of my store) to being above my store.
The object was circular in shape. Silver in color with a darker underside possibly black in color. The top half appeared to be dome shaped and the underside was tubed shaped. At the point when it was above my store it appeared to extend the "tubing" that protruded from the underside and then retract it. The object emitted no sound or lights of any kind. It was approximately 1000 feet in the sky and smaller than the size of a dime. When viewing it from the street it was about 2 inches above my store which is a 2 story building. The object was viewed by five other people including one co-worker of mine. Several pictures were taken of the object as it approached my store and I am waiting for the film to be developed.
