Narrative
Time: July 20, 2026 9:56pm Location: Hillsboro , Oregon Please help provide any explanations for this bright object moving in an unusual path. I am most surprised by the the why it flairs out into a sphere and disappears. Its a short 2 minute clip, please watch all the way through. I will answer any questions to the best of my ability. This was filmed on my iPhone 16 while I was out for a late night walk. Thank you submitted by /u/Perfect_Database6343
