What's Going On Over the Skies of the Pacific Northwest?

While, everyone’s focus is on New Jersey, over on the West Coast, pilots are reporting strange things over the skies of Oregon.

At least four commercial airline pilots have encountered mysterious, colorful, circular lights “moving at extreme speeds” through the skies above Oregon this past weekend, according to local reports.

A pilot for the “Life Flight Network” and their crew were doing a routine flight near Eugene, Oregon last Saturday when they saw what looked like a moving light in the sky.

The pilot, “Joe Buley,” said they were climbing around 7,000 feet they first heard another aircraft. At the same moment, reports started coming in from others who were also seeing moving lights in the sky. Then, moments later, Buley and his crew saw the very same thing.

“Got down near the Corvallis area and started seeing the weird lights. As you can tell on the audio recording that is basically what we saw, just an orange-ish red orb that was moving quite a ways away, at least 20 miles away from us,” Buley said.

“Is there any military activity out straight ahead of us?"

“They’re looking into it,” air traffic control responded.

“We’re seeing three or four targets,” the pilot relays moments later. “They’re at all altitudes. Up and down. It’s pretty crazy.”

The lights, he said, were “shooting way up” as high as 50,000 feet.

Later in the recording, he tells air traffic control that one is moving in “a corkscrew pattern.”

The air traffic controller responds that they have not seen anything — but adds that they have received other reports of something at 30,000 feet in the same area.

“We’re not sure what it is,” she says.

The pilot then says there’s “a lot of movement out here.”

When pressed for more details, the pilot says it looks like “an aircraft strobe” — then says another one showed up.

The pilot says the lights are “zipping towards us and back out towards the ocean, red in color, moving at extreme speeds.”

“I don’t even know how to describe it,” he adds.

Air traffic controll tells the pilot, “You are cleared to maneuver as necessary left and right to avoid the “UFO” out there.”

A spokesperson for the “Life Flight Network” issued the following statement about the incident:

“On Saturday evening, December 7th, during a routine flight near Eugene, Oregon, one of our crews observed an unusual moving light in the sky. We can confirm that it was one of our pilots on the ATC recording that has been widely distributed over the last couple of days. While the nature of the light remains unidentified, at no time did it pose any safety risk to our aircraft or crew. Neither, the “Life Flight Network” nor our crew are speculating about the origin, or the nature of the light, and our focus remains on the safe and efficient operation of our services.”

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has confirmed that the pilot reported seeing unidentified lights to air traffic control, and that the audio of that pilot’s exchange with air traffic control was recorded.

In the audio, the pilot can be heard describing strobing lights and fast, erratic movement.

“The biggest thing that stood out was how it was changing direction. Usually, things don’t change directions like that unless it’s an aircraft,” Buley told press on Thursday.

Two Horizon Airlines pilots also reported seeing mysterious lights on Dec. 8, according to another air traffic controller, and that all flights continued to their destinations without incident.

“That appears to be Starlink satellites, most likely,” explained scientist and researcher Douglas Buettner, who led a study examining a case of five pilots who saw several bright moving objects over the Pacific Ocean in 2022.
Buettner and his colleagues believe the bright lights were flares from numerous Starlink satellites, launched by SpaceX to provide broadband internet, although without better data and clear video, they haven’t ruled out other possibilities.

“Literally all it is — it’s the sun hits the satellite just right, and it is being reflected back into your eye,” explained Buettner, deputy chief scientist of the Acquisition Innovation Research Center, led by the Stevens Institute of Technology.

“I’ve had two other people look at it, and they say it is consistent with Starlink,” Buettner explained.

In August 2022, people in Oregon witnessed a string of Starlink satellites moving dramatically across the night sky.

Last month, the Pentagon director overseeing unidentified anomalous phenomena told lawmakers the Defense Department has seen an increase in reported UAP sightings, especially since satellite constellations such as Starlink were launched.

However, Buley says he’s not convinced it was a satellite.
“They don’t change directions. If they do, not rapidly. Not at this rate of speed,” said Buley.

The strange sightings on the West Coast come as residents in New Jersey have been reporting mysterious drones hovering over their skies — with no explanation offered from White House officials.
Speculation over the origin of the drones ranges from the US military testing out new, secret technology to an Iranian “mothership” sitting in the ocean deploying the objects over the Garden State.
