PORTLAND, OR, APRIL 29/30, 2006
NUFORC has received a number of reports from the Portland, OR, area, regarding a number of very
interesting sightings that occurred at approximately midnight, Saturday night, April 29, 2006. The
duration of the event was approximately ten minutes. Many citizens there have reported having
witnessed at least two groups of brightly lighted objects, seen moving over the downtown area of
Portland, where they reportedly hovered briefly, and then disappeared to the south. Shortly after
the first sighting, a second formation of similar objects was seen.

We have elected not to report here the details of the event until we have received as many
independent reports from other witnesses as possible. Under circumstances like those reported in
this case, the first possibility we usually address is whether the lights might have been part of
a nighttime advertising display. Such displays are reported to our Center frequently. However, in
this case, our preliminary assessment is that the objects were not projected beams of light,
either laser-based or incandescent.

If anyone in the Portland area was witness to the event, we would be most grateful if he/she would
submit a short, factual statement regarding the sighting, using our ONLINE REPORT FORM. We would
like to know 1) where the witness was located at the time of the sighting, 2) what direction
he/she was looking, 3) how the objects moved across the sky, i.e. from left to right, right to
left, overhead, etc., 4) how many object were observed, and 5) what they looked like. Any other
information would be useful. Please be as precise, and complete, as you can, in describing what
you saw.
