SIGHTING: PRINEVILLE, OREGON (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"For the past 2 years I have watched the stars nightly before heading inside for the evening. I do so because of previous sightings in Crooked River Ranch and because of an unexplainable sudden connection with the cosmos. Tonight I had already done my couple minute gaze, but had an urge to go back out and take another look. Oddly, I adjusted the canopy on my backyard swing so I could gaze at "my star" (the brightest, now in the Western sky). I say oddly here because it was already chilly outside and I have a broken hand so the extra effort on this night was odd. I had almost finished my cigarette when I spotted the orb. I first noticed the brightness and began looking for flashing lights or other indications of usual aircraft. I ruled out any flashes and could clearly see multi-directional movement while approaching me. As it came almost directly overhead I began scrambling for my phone to call my wife outside. While telling her to come outside the orb paused while overhead then continued course towards the E-NE. My wife joined me in viewing at this point and confirmed multi-directional movement, increasing brightness, and no flashing lights. I managed to get a video but it had already moved to our treeline and was too far away to be of any usefulness. While it was approaching I had the feeling that I had already expected this spectacle, and when it was overhead my body tingled from head to toe and I was filled with a feeling of happiness and calmness.
