Initial data
The two pilots were flying at 5,000 feet in a Piper Aztec and about half a mile away in a Cessna 182, which was a brand-new aircraft. They were just about to crash at Myrtle Creek when one "thing" appeared about four hours from the shore and looked (when she looked at the pilot) like the round fuselage of an airliner with a reflection in the front, but not on the sides.
Then it moved a few hundred feet behind the Cessna and below. The object began to move directly towards the plane, and the pilot told him on the radio. The Piper Aztec pilot tried to tell the Cessna pilot that a plane was approaching. The Cessna pilot only had the word "airplane" left. He looked around and couldn't (hear) a word from the other pilot.
The Piper Aztec pilot tried using two different transmitters, and all he could hear was static while the object was nearby. The object moved under the Cessna, several hundred feet below it, then rose vertically, fairly close below it, within 25 feet, and hung there for a minute.
The object was estimated to be 30 feet in diameter and shaped like a sphere. There was nothing sticking out of it, it was metal, then it fell again and slid behind the Cessna. Then he reached for the Cessna again, but not so close this time. Finally, about four or five hours later, it moved to the right and fell over the coastal mountain range.
The entire observation lasted about five minutes.

Summary: Two pilots were flying at 5,000 ft in a Piper Aztec and about a half mile off formation with a Cessna 182 which was a brand new airplane. They were just getting ready to let down at Myrtle Creek when one “thing” came from about a four o’clock position from the coast and looked (when it was facing the Aztec pilot) like the round fuselage of an airliner with a reflection in front but not on the sides. Then it moved in several hundred feet behind, and below, the Cessna. The object started moving directly toward the aircraft, and the pilot radioed him. The Aztec pilot tried to tell the Cessna pilot that there was a plane coming up on him. The Cessna pilot got only the word “plane”. He looked around on both sides and couldn’t (hear) any word from the other pilot. The Aztec pilot tried on two different transmitters and all he could hear was static while the object was around. The object moved underneath the Cessna, several hundred feet below him, then it lifted up vertically to pretty close underneath him, within 25 feet. and hung there for a minute. The object was estimated at 30 feet in diameter and was shaped like a sphere. There was nothing sticking out from it and it was metallic, then it dropped back down and slid behind the Cessna. And then it pulled underneath the Cessna again, but not as close this time. Finally it moved off to the right at about four or five o’clock position and dropped down over the coast mountain range. The entire observation lasted for about five minutes.
