SIGHTING: SALEM, OREGON (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was outside to witness the solar eclipse. it was beautiful you could even see a few stars in the darkness i was wearing solar glasses. as the eclipse ended the landscape became lighter the skies became blue again. i noticed several planes flying by i assume to witness the eclipse. i could hear the noises of them they passed rather quickly. that's when i noticed a dark orb or sphere it was completely black. hovering at what looked to be the top of a hill. i couldn't tell how far it was away from me but i would guess more than half a mile. it was definitely too big to be a drone. it was definitely not a helicopter i am positive of those two things. there was very little movement. too low of an altitude to be a helicopter no noise it was hovering in a way that was not like anything i have seen before. i got my father to show him and it was gone by that time it i saw it for at least 3 minutes and within 5-10 seconds of looking away it was gone. i looked it up online today and noticed that there were other witnesses so i felt compelled to report this. i realize there was a lot of are traffic at the time but i know this wasn't a plane, a drone, a helicopter, or a weather balloon or even a sun spot. i assume there were plenty of witnesses. feel free to contact me by phone is best. thank you, clark o'harra"
