All 3 of us are trying to figure out what this could have been.
We were driving north on Hill Road, just west of McMinnville, Ore., just after sunset.
We noticed a strange sphere type object due east of us. It was oscillatiing red and orange, and looked to be just a couple of hundred feet over the rooftops. At that time it looked as bright as Venus but a little larger and was pulsing red to orange.
We stopped the car and observed it as it headed due east away and up at a high rate of speed for 10 or so seconds. It got dimmer and dimmer, and then it vanished.
The total time we observed the object was about 5 minutes.
There was no noticeable noise, but we were pretty excited, the truck was running and we were talking all at once.
