Odd shaped object that rotated and got brighter and darker while moving across the sky.
I was in the lying in the backyard watching the stars come out. About 20 minutes into it, I saw an object in the corner of my eye, and then put my full focus on it. My wife was in the garage and I called out for her to come see it. She only saw it for the last 10 seconds, or so.
It made no noise and moved rather quickly. It was gray in color but occasionally would light up and get brighter. I'm not sure if this was reflected sunlight or what. The shape was roughly cuboid or spherical and seemed to have bumps and parts that stuck out. The object appeared to be rotating.
I don't really know how far away it was other than the fact that it went behind a large tree that was about 30 feet away. The apparent size was similar to my pinky nail with my arm outstretched.
The path of the object was roughly NW to SE parallel to the Willamette River. After it passed behind the large tree, we watched it get smaller and disappear towards the part of the sky where the moon was.
