Jan. 23, 1949; 4 miles S of Tillamook, Oregon (BBU)
11:05 a.m. Burt Leckington and wife while driving S on Hwy 101, about 1/4 to 1/2 mile SE of Pleasant Valley, saw a shiny, silvery, round stationary object about 10-15 ft size glinting in the sun to the SE at about 35° elevation about 500 [or 2,000] ft 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 1 min the polished silver saucer-shaped object reflecting sunlight nearly overhead at 45° elevation stationary at first about 1,000-2,000 ft altitude, angular size of full moon (0.5°), then moving NE at about 30-50 mph, for about 1 min. (FOIA; FUFOR Index) 2.5-3 min.
