Large flash through sky, exact point of origin unknown, approximate to south side of town. Flash was quick and indescribable, light projected caused a weird sensation to skin and irritation to eyes. Flash seemed almost like the “ neuralyzer” from movie MIB as crazy as that sounds it’s the best way I can explain it. Nonetheless it was strange and unworldly.

My fiancee and I have noticed a series of flashes in the sky on numerous occasions here on the Oregon coast. The flashes are extremely bright, much more so than anything we have ever seen in the night sky. It starts out when one of us sees the first flash then we watch it cover the horizon in seconds in about 3 flashes. Sometimes straight and others with sharp turns. Not sure if it is military and some kind of pulse engine but never any noises and not a beacon light like a plane. If my iPhone would film night sky better, I could film it easy.

We then see a blue like streak either shooting from the craft, or possibly it had made an extreme movement as in zipping away very fast. But it didn’t exit the sky. After that we didn’t see it for maybe 30 seconds, it appeared once again, in the same vicinity it had been, and we again saw a flash 2 more times, but then disappeared completely.
