Orange oval 40 ft in diameter, twenty ft off the ground, appoxumate 100 ft from me.
I was approximately 6 y.o. I felt I should write this, after all these years because I am still fascinated, awed and scientifically curious. This changed my focus all my life.
It was in the fall, I do not remember the exact time or date, so the are rough estimates. My mother and I were driving over to the Pilot Rock, OR, area to meet my Dad and uncles there. We were all staying in a large cabin .
During the road trip at night, my mom and I saw a distant orange light slowly approaching from our left side of the road. It moved smoothly and steadily towards us. It silently kept getting closer, its height matching the rolling hills and uneven terrain with a precise and unchanging distance from the ground.
My mother pulled our car off to the side of the road. It was clear, I could see stars and there was dead silence, no wind.
This oval, solid orange object came right up to us, never slowing down, moving very slowly. (About the speed of a avarage running man). I looked into it with awe, it had no markings, solid color, not even a variation of orange. Its luminescence was not to bright that I could not look at it. It was bright, but it did not illuminate much of the ground around it. It kept getting closer. Close enough I think I could have hit it with a rock. It compared in size to. Softball held at arms Length from you. It was about 20 feet off the ground. I would guess it was about 40 ft in diameter (oval) and had a vertical length of about 10 ft (maybe slightly more) it had no sound.
This object continued to move steadily past us. After it was out of sight, we got into our car and drive to the cabin. I kept looking for it and notice it was trailing our right side in the trees lines quite a distance away. I could see glimpse of it until we turned left onto a gravel road, drove a bit longer and we were at the cabin.
Never seen anything like it since. I have only told my family until now. My mom remembers and we talk about it once in a while, but she does not tell anyone.
