Shiny, silvery, round stationary object about 10-15 feet size. Explanation: Aircraft.
Burt Leckington and wife while driving south on Highway 101, about 1/4 to 1/2 mile southeast of Pleasant Valley, saw a shiny, silvery, round stationary object about 10-15 feet size glinting in the sun to the southeast at about 35° elevation about 500 (or 2,000) feet height about 1/2 to 3/4 mile away. When he went inside his shop to get binoculars the object disappeared. No sound or trail. Witness Smith in Tillamook saw for about one minute the polished silver saucer-shaped object reflecting sunlight nearly overhead at 45° elevation stationary at first about 1,000-2,000 foot altitude, angular size of full moon, then moving northeast at about 30-50 mph, for about one minute. A flying disc was observed. One ball was observed by three witnesses for 2.5 minutes (Burt Leckington).
