SIGHTING: WINSTON, OR

Witness Testimony

" My girlfriend and I were sitting on the porch. It was a clear night with no clouds or haze in the sky. She pointed to a bright light way out on the west horizon that seemed to be moving. I grabbed my binoculars to get a better look at it. I continued to watch it thru my binoculars, as it traveled across the sky.It was a very bright glowing white light traveling from east to west at a high rate of speed. It maintained it's speed, elevation, and direction. It appeared to be traveling at a lower elevation then what commercial aircraft travel at. About 1 minute after it passed overhead, it changed into an orange color and then faded out.I have been in the Air Force for 18 years. I have spent a lot of years working on aircraft. I have been around many different aircraft, from cargo to fighters. I can distinguish between an airplane, satellite, and meteor. It was none of these.((NUFORC Note: Overflight of ISS. http://heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=25544&lat=43.1223&lng=-123.4126&loc=Winston&alt=169&tz=PSTPD)) "
