Portland, Oregon

The largest city in Oregon, located in the Pacific Northwest. Portland was a major focal point during the historic summer 1947 flying saucer wave, with numerous sightings reported by police officers, pilots, and citizens. Reports from Portland were heavily scrutinized by early military intelligence as they attempted to determine if the objects were Soviet incursions or a new phenomenon.

A major hotspot for credible police and civilian sightings during the foundational 1947 UFO wave.
