Wilsonville, Oregon

Anonymous report recounts alleged Saturday sighting

Two people reported seeing lights hovering 300 feet off the ground near Wilsonville Saturday, lighting up the ground “like a football stadium.”

The report was made on the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database. The Web site provides details and illustrations related to possible UFO sightings throughout the country.

Oregon gets a few reports each month – seven in March, six in February and five in January – but this was the first in the state for April.

The report, left anonymously on the Web site as MUFON Case No. 22754, states:

“This report is for a coworker; his computer is not working. He and his girlfriend were driving north on I-5 from Woodburn when, around the Wilsonville exit next to Fry’s Electronics, they saw lights so bright it lit up like a football stadium.

(There is) no school in the area. They thought it might be military, but there was no outline of a craft. It was stationary, about 300 feet off the ground.

“They drive this route every night and have never seen this before. They lost sight of it while driving up the freeway. (The) lights were unlike anything they have seen before.”
