Prospector Fred Johnson of Portland, Oregon, was at the 5,000 ft level when he saw a group of 6-7 fastmoving objects [heading SE?], extremely bright on top, with long sharply pointed tails and one waving like a compass needle, flashing when seeming to bank, at perhaps 1° elevation (seemingly 1,000 ft higher and possibly 10 miles away), angular size roughly 0.03° (seeming 30 ft size at 10 miles) viewed through a small pocket telescope, focusing on one object mainly while noting 5-6 others; his compass needle fluctuated. 45-60 secs.
