Two hikers camping out near Red Butte, near Three-Finger Jack, in the
Cascade Mountains reported a UFO sighting at 3:30 a.m. One hiker saw a
"weird-looking" bright "star" on the eastern horizon. "He pointed it out
to his friend. The light was greenish-red in color and eventually
moved up, left, down and then dipped below the horizon. He said that the
light appeared to be 50 to 75 miles away, and he calculated it to be north
of the city of Bend (population 17,263), out in the desert."

(RDUP2/16/97)
Two Wallowa County Sheriff's Department deputies encountered a UFO while
on patrol in Joseph, Oregon (population 1,000). The deputies saw "a
perfectly round blue 'fireball' descend vertically in the southern sky
right in front" of their cruiser. They "watched the object for two or
three seconds, during which it traversed 20 to 40 degrees of arc viewed
from the ground." They estimated the UFO to be "1/4 to 1/2 the diameter of
the full moon." The object disappeared behind the Wallowa Mountains south
of Joseph.

PORTLAND
7/4/47
(McDonald)
Sheriff's Deputy Fred Krives, along with several other deputies, saw some
of the many objects over Portland from the Court House across the Columbia
River in Vancouver, Wash. Krives recalled that over half a dozen deputies
were outside looking at what they estimated to be about 20 disc-shaped
objects in several subgroups racing across the sky at an estimated height
of perhaps 1000 ft, heading to the southwest.
From contemporary press accounts, it was evident that more than one formation of discs flew over Portland that day. Harbor Patrol Capt. K.A. Prehn, said that he had been called outside by another officer who spotted objects moving overhead towards the south. Their speed seemed comparable to that of aircraft, their outlines were quite sharp, and they looked metallic as they flashed in the sun. They occasionally wobbled, and their path seemed to be slightly irregular. Other officers sighted discs from other parts of the Portland area; one of them, Officer Walter Lissy, emphasized that he recalled them as zig-zagging along at "terrific speed." Another officer, Earl Patterson, told of seeing a single object that "made sudden 90-degree turns with no difficulty."
