I was looking up at the moon facing South from my Southeast Portland front porch, when I saw some red and green lit object almost floating south in the sky. It would descend and then hover repeatedly for the time that it was visible.
I wasn't able to make out a shape, but I could definitely tell that it was not something that I had seen before (I've seen Chinese lanterns, weather balloons and meteors).
This was about the size of a small airplane by the formation of the lights on the object.
It disappeared behind the tree line.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be exceptionally eloquent and objective in her description of her sighting. We suspect that she is a quite capable, and reliable, witness. PD))
