Bright lights illuminate daughters bedroom window.In the early hours of Sunday morning the phone rang at the OUFOR hotline. As I put the phone to my ear to say hello, I could hear a young girl crying in the back ground and a women speaking to her. I said hello...there was a short pause and the women on the other end said, "Is this the UFO place?" I replied, "This is Oregon UFO Research mam, is there something wrong?" I could still hear the girl crying in the background and the sound in the womens voice was very sharp and semi-frantic. I began taking notes.She said, in a very matter of fact way, "Are UFOs real or not?" The way she said this, rather insistent on an answer with her daughter still crying in the back ground made me think something had just happened at her home. "Yes mam we at Oregon UFO Research believe there is something to the UFO phenomenon. I hear your daughter crying. Did something happen at your home this evening?" There was a pause and the women began to cry herself. "Yes." I asked, "Is this something you have called the police about?" After another pause she said, "we have no police here to call. It would mean one coming from miles away...besides, I'm not sure what they could do anyway." I asked her how she got a hold of my number and she said from a quick search on the internet for 'UFO Oregon'. I then asked her what had happened and she explained that about 45 minutes earlier (which would have been around 1:45 am) she was awoke by a scream from her daughters room down the hall. She leaped from her bed and, running down the hall towards her daughters room, noticed a glow of light coming from under the door. As she turned the knob and opened the door the hallway was bathed in brilliant light coming from the room but originating from outside the girls window which was closed and covered by blinds. Her daughter was sitting up in her bed with her blanket up around her body and face, only her eyes showing as she screamed.I interrupted her at that point and said, "someone was outside your daughters window pointing a bright light into it?" She explained that the light was from above somewhere outside and slowly dropping to window level and described the brightness as being "sharp" like really bright flood lights that left lines through the room as it penetrated the cracks in the closed blinds...the lines of light running from the floor upward where she stood and from the top of the window down. She said the light was so brilliant that you could make out dust particles floating in the air caught in the light. She explained that she ran to the bed and picked up her daughter and began to rush from the room when the light went out and the room went dark. They then turned on all the lights in the house and called her husband at work to come home.As I asked where exactly she was I realized that she had pulled away from the phone for a moment and was speaking to her crying daughter. When she returned she began speaking quickly and in a whisper that her husband had just pulled up and that she would talk about this with him and to please not call her back if I had the number until she had a chance to talk with him about it. She then hung up. I checked the caller ID on my phone but it only said "out of area" with no number available to give any indication of where this event took place. As of this posting at 9:45 am there has been no return calls but if there is and the witness is cooperative an investigation will be initiated. At this time there is nothing to validate whether this event is real or not but it is the opinion of this investigator that the phone call was either real or was the product of Oscar caliber acting on the part of both the older and younger females heard over the phone. It is my opinion that the event happened, whatever that event may have been.
