| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving north across the Astoria-Megler bridge, from OR to WA when I saw this. At first my mind went to "helicopter"... but it was going too fast and at a steep angle down. The light blue color was more flat and thin, than round, with no really discernible tail although there could have been a slight one. I just said, "Whoa! What was that!?" to my cat 😺 |
