Possible UFO Sighting In Southern Oregon
GRANTS PASS, OR.
The cosmic events on Friday where a meteor streaked across Russia's sky -- made for some international headlines.
But two Grants Pass residents say they also saw something in the sky that night.
They claim it wasn't an asteroid or meteorite but an unidentified flying object.
And they caught it all on camera!
It's hard to make out much of anything in the original video. But after NBC 5 added a special filter to make the light more visible you can clearly see something was in the sky over Grants Pass Friday night.
"At first I was like what's wrong with that star? I thought, whoa, that's kind of trippy. So I went to get him and he's like whoa! What is that? And it started moving, said Heather Scherffius.
Scherffius and Gregory Soldner say they just happened to look outside around 10:30 at night and say they've never seen anything quite like this.
"It looked like a metal disk of some sort. I'm not sure, but it was metal and the way it moved was wierd. I mean I don't believe in flying saucers but..." explained Soldner.
The two claim the object stayed in one spot for several minutes and then made a few sporadic movements.
"It moved up and down, back to one spot and then zigzaged a bit. It was there like 20-30 minutes and then it was just gone!"
NBC 5 contacted the FAA to find out if any other sightings were reported or if they knew of any aircraft flying over Grants Pass around that time.
Because of the holiday weekend, staff was limited but they told us very few ufo's are actually reported and an investigation into what was flying over Grants Pass will begin on Tuesday.
The one time non-ufo believers, are still take in what they saw.
Soldner said, "I myself find it hard to believe. But you got it see it."

WOW!
THIS IS A TRUE STORY! In 1974, Paradise Valley a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. My sister and I had a UFO Experience. I was 7 years old and she was 9.
In the fall of 1974 my sister and I were walking to school, it was around 4:00am and completely dark outside. The reason why we were walking to school so early is because in 1974 Paradise Valley was brand new, our new school "Arrowhead" was still being built, so "Indian Bend" had Double Sessions to accommodate all the children. First session was 5am-11am.
We were walking to school and then we saw a huge golden pyramid floating in front of Shadow Mountain about 50 feet above the ground, right where this "water treatment plant" is located. It was massive 300 feet tall and 300 feet wide at least. I don't have any memory of anything after that except a generic memory of going to school that day. I have an implant that is in my hand, a little black spot, under my skin. At the age of 7, that moment changed my life. I have been on a quest ever since to find out what that was. When you see the golden pyramid of The Illuminati, that would be the best way to describe the pyramid we saw. Here is a link to a documentary called "The UFO Experience", there is video of this exact same pyramid in the film.

I was talking to my son on the phone and saw something familar to what they described last night 4/26/2013 around 10pm. I don't have a video but I do have a still picture it also stopped for a few minutes then made a 90 degree turn. I am in Sweet Home OR. I don't think its alien or anything I just can't seem to get any direction of what it might be then I saw this article and it seemed to be pretty accurate
