Full Description & Details

Any life form with the technology to travel this far knows that if doesn't want to be seen, it should do its observing at night, with no lights on. This is my SECOND sighting of a light at night moving amazingly fast, at a low altitude, with no sound.

Being a pilot myself, I can be sure this craft was between 1 and 4 thousand feet, moving 500-600mph, with no sound. About 10:40pm on 16 July 2006, I was out for a late bike ride when I saw what I thought was a shooting star, but it went much, much longer than a shooting star, with a consistent bright light moving southbound over Central Point and Medford, OR. The light was on before I saw it (it came from behind me) so I have no idea how long the light was on or how many others saw it. Being night time, I saw no features or shape of the craft, but it was going fighter jet speed, and I was waiting for the loud thunder of a low jet but no sound whatsoever.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

No. A man-made object this fast would have had an accompanying sound.

Witness Background

Marine Officer Candidate.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have a batchelor's degree and I'm a pilot. The amount of existing evidence on UFOs makes them hard to disprove.
