Has been repeatedly proven the t slender fuselae,e a/c with tldn wines will often appear as slender wintlesa objects a~ainst a dark sky. 2. The tlicht path of the objects was tor all pract)cal purposes on the exact track of the AirwaY into and out ot Portland tram the north . .3. No other report at any stranee phenomena -~et the objects flew over a Yery lare city 4 Portland GOS confix,ned formation of jet a/c on maneuvers in the area at that beoeral tins and date.
