Reports

• Case Report: SE Portland Squiggly UFO with Abduction?. Two people see a UFO. Witness MW takes photos afterwards. The last photo is timestamped two hours after the second to last photo. Does this indicate an abduction?
• Case Report: Milwaukie Amoeba UFOs. Note that these UFOs have now been identified! One person in his backyard video-recorded from his backyard in blue sky daylight on two separate dates ten months apart two separate UFOs that looked and behaved very similarly. They were both small, somewhat transforming, mostly whitish, oddly-shaped objects. They both showed a pinkish area: one more prominent than the other. One of the UFOs showed two ragged "arms" that divided up into two parts at the tip at different points in the video. The witness first saw the UFOs and then began video-recording them as they moved along slowly in the sky.
• Case Report: Milwaukie Colorful Transforming UFO. One person in his backyard video-recorded a small, colorful, constantly transforming UFO with large configuration transformations going from a basic ovoid reddish/orangish shape to a multiple-lobed shape with "connectors." The reddish/orangish shape seemed to "flare up" with internal lighting occasionally.
• Case Report: Milwaukie Green Snake UFO. One person in his backyard video-recorded a small, elongated, green, snake-like UFO with strange moving "light nodes" in blue sky daylight.
• Case Report: Milwaukie "Sprouting Potato" UFO. One person in his backyard video-recorded a small, compact, vigorously transforming UFO with odd protuberances and occasional, internally generated, white light "flare ups" on the protuberances in blue sky daylight.
• Case Report: Milwaukie Pink, White, and Blue Cluster UFO. One witness the UFO and video-recorded 13 minutes of the pastel pink, white, and blue orbs cluster UFO as it moved along in the sky, going at one point just below a passing cloud.  This enabled us to calculate a size for the UFO.  It was about 1.5 feet across.
• Case Report: Millennium Park Plaza UFOs. One witness saw and photographed two separate dark, globular-shaped UFOs. Within a few minutes, both drift off from east to west on an overcast day over Lake Oswego, Oregon.  Minutes after the UFOs passed by, two F-15 National Guard jets flew by in the same general airspace.
• Case Report: Eastbank Esplanade Cigar-Shaped UFO. A classic cigar-shaped, dark UFO was seen by two witnesses in downtown Portland, Oregon, right along the Willamette River.  Video and photos were taken.
• Case Report: Highway 26 Structured Craft UFO. A low-level, very large "box-shaped" UFO was seen right beside Highway 26 just north of Hillsboro, Oregon.
• Case Report: Sublimity Close Encounter.  At night in a small town in Oregon's Willamette Valley, three witnesses (some together, some individually) saw different aspects of a complex set of UFO events involving a strange, glowing, basketball-shaped UFO moving slowly down the middle of their street. Earlier one witness saw a more conventional flying saucer perhaps a mile away against some hills.
• Case Report: Medford Monkey Balloon UFO. Two witnesses saw a slow-moving, balloon-like UFO in the sky. One photo was taken and then the camera apparently malfunctioned. The witness's brother across town was called and also tried to photograph the UFO but failed.
• Case Report: SW River Road Spiky Red UFO. A low-level, kite- or balloon-like, red UFO moved fairly swiftly along past the witness traveling in his truck.  He stopped and managed to get a lot of telephoto photos of it moving away.
• Case Report: Bruce Road Video Only UFO. A witness video'd a light plane making passes over a field practicing dropping food and supply bundles. Afterward, while viewing the video, the videographer noticed something "UFO-like" passing near the plane. Examination of the video also revealed another possible distant UFO "interested" in the practice sessions of the light plane. This is an example (not an infrequent occurrence) of a UFO photographed or video'd that on later examination is truly anomalous.
• Case Report: St. Helens Quick Close Encounter. While photographing and video'ing airplanes off his back deck in St. Helens, Oregon, a witness saw and video'd some strange objects, one of which swooped in for an apparent closer look at the witness.
• Case Report: Raleigh Hills Maneuvering UFO. A low-level, shape-changing UFO was seen at night in a high traffic area in a Portland area suburb.
• Case Report: Salem Maneuvering Orb-like UFOs. A Salem, Oregon, witness, during a break at work, saw and photographed multiple, white, orb-like UFOs in the daytime sky.

• Case Report The Modoc Road UFO in the Clouds. A dark, oblong UFO was seen and video'd hanging around in some clouds near Medford, Oregon.
• Case Report: Appaloosa Way UFO. A red, white, and blue cluster of "glowing" roundish UFOs was seen and video'd in daytime blue sky.

• Here's a presentation on the history of UFOs in Oregon that your state and assistant directors made to the public down in Coos Bay, Oregon. (Note that it is a PDF and you don't get the audio file or video files, but everything else is there.)
• Here's a presentation about "Identified Flying Objects" delivered to a meeting of Oregon MUFON. Remember that most UFO reports resolve into known and understood objects or phenomena, only about 10% to 25% remain truly puzzling and strange after competent investigation.
• This file is the famous 1950 Paul Trent UFO photos case. This is perhaps Oregon's most famous UFO case because of the unimpeachable character of the witnesses and the clarity of the two photos. This presentation was given at an Oregon MUFON meeting.
• Want a quick summary of the crop circle phenomenon? This presentation at an Oregon MUFON meeting should do it for you.
• UFOs: What is the Truth? was presented to a Portland State University class on the paranormal. Their class "textbook" was debunker Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World so we didn't expect much respect from the instructor and didn't get it, but you have to do what you can and hope that folks wake up someday.
• The Serious Side of UFOs was presented at the November 2019 OM meeting.  It puts the recent December 17, 2017, New York Times front-page story treating UFOs as a real phenomenon in its proper context along with some recent related events.  We as a society have now entered the era of UFO disclosure.  The implications are enormous so further revelations will take time to roll out in the coming decade(s).  It has begun . . . hold on to your hat!
• The UFO Problem and Why It Matters was contributed (11-30-21) to a local religious studies college class for their study and comment.  The paper suggests some implications of UFO reality and provides a timeline of pertinent UFO events since the December 17, 2017, New York Times front-page story of the military/UFO encounters during the 2004 USS Nimitz military preparedness exercises off the coast of Southern California.  If UFOs are real and the Pentagon is now openly acknowledging that, what should we prepare ourselves for going forward?  We should prepare ourselves for a gradual change in our dominant reality paradigm.
• Oregon MUFON State Director Tom Bowden delivered a lecture on UFOs to the City Club of Florence, Oregon, on May 11, 2023.  The lecture was a general introduction to the history and significance of UFOs.
