Daytime Sighting – What Do You Think?
\nDate: Monday, February 17th, 3:40 PM
\nLocation: Southeast Portland, Oregon <\/p>\n
I stepped outside to let the dogs out and, as usual, looked up in hopes of spotting something unusual. To my surprise, there it was! <\/p>\n
I estimate the object was flying at an altitude of around 20,000 to 30,000 feet. I base this on my familiarity with the heights of prop planes, which fly lower, and commercial jets that are generally higher. The airport is situated about 6 miles to the northeast, and I often see planes arriving and departing at various angles, which helps gauge their altitude. <\/p>\n
However, this object was moving directly north and didn\u2019t descend toward the airport. I eventually lost sight of it as it traveled further into Washington. Interestingly, my wife, who usually brushes off my interest in such sightings, watched it with me and acknowledged that it was indeed strange.<\/p>\n
I managed to screenshot a frame from the video I took, and when I enlarged the image, it looked egg-shaped. I\u2019d love to share that image here, but unfortunately, the platform doesn\u2019t allow it. If anyone else can figure out how to post it, that would be great! What are your thoughts?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
