UFO sighted near Portland in 1960

Summary

In July 1960, a witness in the area south of Portland, Oregon, reported seeing two bright white objects with flat tops and bottoms. These objects, which appeared to be the size of a half-dollar coin, moved side by side before changing to a vertical formation. The witness, a 45-year-old man, observed the objects for at least 45 seconds under a clear night with a bright moon. Although the possibility of weather balloons or aircraft was considered, no conclusive evidence supported these hypotheses.

The report notes that the objects did not display visible navigation lights from the ground, complicating their identification as commercial or military aircraft. Additionally, the witness could not clearly explain how he determined the objects were flat on top, raising questions about the accuracy of his description. Despite this, the report concluded there was no sufficient evidence to rule out the possibility that it was an aircraft sighting. The case was filed without a definitive resolution, adding another mystery to the already extensive list of UFO sightings from that era.
