Willamette Valley reports of 1965
Project Blue Book's files hold an unusual cluster of 1965 reports from the towns of Oregon's Willamette Valley: Corvallis, Albany, Tangent, Lacomb, Sweet Home and Molalla.
1965 CE · 44.56, -123.26 · status: account
The account
One March report described a farmer and his farmhand on a road near Corvallis watching lights rise from the ground. Others came in through the summer and late autumn, part of the large national wave of 1965.
The sceptical view
Most Blue Book files from this wave were closed as aircraft, stars, planets or balloons, and the files give little detail.
