Location: 
Портленд, OR
United States

The witness worked a shift at a local sawmill and finished work at 02: 00. At about 03: 00, he went to a local town and turned a corner. He saw a bright light above the house. He thought it was the moon, but the moon was behind him. That night, he photographed the moon. 

The object was located at a distance of about 600-1000 feet (182.8-304 m) from it. He stopped. The object hovered over a small house at a height of about 20-30 feet (6-9. 1 m). The object was round and illuminated the entire area. 

It was about twice the size of the house, maybe 100 feet (30.4 m) in diameter. He saw and observed it for several minutes and took several pictures of the object. Then the object flashed twice, dimmed, and began to move.

I jumped in my car and chased him. 

It remained about 200 feet (60.9 m) above the ground and made no noise. The witness chased him for more than 2 miles at a speed of about 100 mph, and he continued to move away. The witness stopped at a small store and called the local Sheriff's office to report it. 

Three days later, when he was asleep, his mother woke him up. She said he had company. 

He went downstairs, and there were two men in the hall. They were dressed in black, including a hat and sunglasses. They were very pale. They asked him about what he had seen and asked if he had photos. He said Yes, but he hasn't shown them yet. They told him never to talk about the event. 

The next thing he remembers is waking up in bed. 

The camera that was in his car disappeared along with all the film.
