Unidentified

On the public record, and still open. A claim, paper, or film — not a finding that it was ours, and not a finding that it was not.

Mother saw shape-shifting see-through silver object fall from sky with lights; later hovered outside daughter's window shining lights in; daughter photographed it; both experienced nausea/headaches afterward.

What was claimed

Mother on patio saw object fall from sky like a dead bird, rapidly changing from rectangular to large ball to small ball, silver with distorted see-through surface and two big lights. Later, daughter saw large semi-transparent object (size of three airplanes) hovering outside bedroom window shining lights inside; she took a photo. Mother and daughter reported nausea, balance issues, and headaches

What is on the record

This file is a working record — a report, not a verdict. Official paper, if any, is linked where we have it.

On the evening of August 25, 2026, a woman ('S') sitting on the back patio of her Wilsonville home noticed something falling out of the sky 'almost like a bird was shot dead in the air and plummeted.' The object changed shape quickly from rectangular to a large ball, then a small ball. It was described as silver with a distorted, see-through surface, two really big lights, and no distinct shape. Approximately an hour later around 9:14 PM, her 12-year-old daughter ran from her bedroom in panic as bright lights flashed through the room. The family observed a giant semi-transparent silver object hovering right outside the window (estimated as wide as three airplanes, nose tilted up). The daughter managed to take a photograph of it. The object hovered nearly a minute before disappearing. Afterward, the mother felt nauseous with balance issues and the daughter had intermittent headaches; both recovered the next day. Report submitted to NUFORC with photo.

Could this have been ours?

The known sky, that night.

The station, the trains, and the rest of the known sky were already there. Hold the claim next to them.

1998 —

International Space Station

A bright, steady moving star. A few minutes to cross. No strobe. Occupied since 2000. NASA publishes the pass times. Not unidentified.

2019 —

Starlink trains

A line of equally spaced lights after a launch. The most common string of orbs in current reports. A satellite deployment, not a formation of craft.

Always

Venus and the bright planets

A fixed brilliant point. Does not streak. Does not hover over a street then leave. Often the first misread light in a rural report.

Always

Aircraft, balloons, meteors

Landing lights, flares, lanterns, reentries, fireballs. They are on the known sky. They do not close a file by themselves — they are what a serious look has to hold the claim against.

Orbit · Space — the desks for lights that are already named.
