Full Description & Details
We made notes on our sighting, but over the years we have misplaced the original accounting of this event so we will estimate the time to be around July 1974 to 1976.
We planned a fishing trip to Owyhee Reservoir in eastern Oregon near the Idaho boarder. I don't remember the day we left Oregon City but it was probably Friday because we planned on staying over night at a motel in LaGrande, Oregon about 270 miles from home. It was a very warn evening and we were driving on highway 80 east through the Columbia River gorge. One of the little towns we were driving through was Pendleton,Oregon, about 200 miles from Oregon City.
As we drove down towards the town of Pendleton, which is situated in a valley, it was getting dark.
The road was straight and I was driving when my girlfriend said,"Look up in front, that white light is isolating back and forth."
I looked up and observed the white light which seemed to be about 2000 feet high or less. As we drove closer to the craft it moved away from us at such high speed that its light trailed behind it. The craft did not go very far when it just stopped. It then streaked to the left and stopped again. By now it was just a little south of the Pendleton airport.
We stopped our car and got out to get a better look. Traffic was very light and it was so quiet we could hear that the UFO made no noise.
Our story would be just another UFO sighting except for one little twist.
After a few minutes had passed a 101 Voodoo jet fighter plane from the Oregon National Guard base in Portland showed up. We heard the jet coming; it was flying very slow and at the same altitude as the UFO. The jet made six passes around the UFO. The first pass was very, very close to the craft, each pass then was further and further away from the UFO. We are sure the pilot saw a spaceship from another world, because we are sure we did.. Then the jet flew northwest, back to its base.
It got very quiet again after the jet left. We observed the UFO for a few minutes more, and then we left.
Either the Air National guard spotted the UFO on their radar or the Portland airport spotted the UFO on their radar. There was no information given out by the Air Force about this sighting.
This spaceship had to know it would be picked up by radar, like other sightings.
We believe they are preparing this planet for a landing in someones backyard.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?
NO !!!
