Brief Narrative

Karen, and her husband Richard, were driving south along State Highway 62 north of Medford, Oregon, around 11 AM on March 20, 2007, when a bright, "shiny dot" caught her eye. The shiny object became dark and then shiny alternately so that sometimes she would lose it as they drove along. They then turned west onto Highway 234 and then south onto Modoc Road getting closer to Medford. She finally saw the object long enough to begin videotaping it from the car. At this point, they for certain realized the object was odd and was probably literally a UFO (unidentified flying object). However, they could not find a good place to stop to get better video of the object.

Karen ended up with 9.63 seconds of UFO video from which the following frame is taken. Many of the frames are somewhat unclear from severe shaking and vibration from the car moving along and from the extreme 40X zoom she was using.

Still Frame from the UFO Video

Modoc Road UFO shot by Karen Brown near Medford, Oregon. The UFO moved very little in the clouds to the ESE of her position on Modoc Road. The UFO was probably three to six miles away and was probably around 20 to 40 feet in length. The UFO varied its brightness level along its length in fractions of a second as shown by the videotape.
