Oregon - 10-10-09, 00:30 hours, clear skies

Last night, while we were at Club 9 downtown, the whole patio saw a triangular UFO pass from west to east over South Ptown (halfway between OHSU and Pioneer square), then turn south over the I-5 - 405 interchange.

It was maybe 50' above the downtown buildings. It was about 75' (give or take) across and was moving rather quickly. The triangle seemed to have round corners, and the three main lights underneath were grayish in color.

When it turned south, it banked at a 40 degree angle. There was a slight anomaly with the air - it seemed to shimmer as though there was intense heat, a shimmer that one would see coming off of a road during the summer sun, but it was slight. The ship was extremely clear to see, although it seemed to be solid flat black (minus the lights of course). oregon101009 I made a quick animation of what we saw (attached) from my perspective. (see below)

There was no sound.

I was trying to take a photograph of three girls, but the camera wasn't working, when someone yelled 'That's a ....... UFO!' I looked up and to my right, I immediately saw it as it passed right in front of us.

There was no doubt that it was a huge craft gliding through the night sky. We lost sight of the object in the distance.

Note: I had Lasik eye surgery a few years ago, giving me perfect 20/20 vision. A negative result of the surgery though makes all lights at night have a slight halo and star effect lens flare. The three lights I saw off of the craft did not give these effects, even though all of the other lights in the city and the hills behind did.

P.S. - The exact time was 12:30 AM, 10 Oct 2009, I put in the time of 12 AM and got an error message, so I'm redoing this with the time of 1 AM instead.
