Saw a huge silent translucent wing-shaped creature over Grants Pass, Oregon
This literally happened tonight, October 3, 2026, around 11 PM in Grants Pass, Oregon. My dad and I were sitting outside on some new patio furniture I’d just gotten. We’d been out there for a while just talking, joking around and hanging out. We had the outdoor lights off and were looking at the night sky.
First, I saw a bizarre light. It became extremely bright yellow, changed toward blue, and then seemed to just stop/disappear. It didn’t look like any shooting star I’ve ever seen. It seemed relatively close and was honestly difficult to describe, my immediate impression was almost like watching a tiny tear or opening in the sky. “Wormhole” or “rip” is the closest visual description I can come up with, but I’m not claiming that’s what it was.
Then, roughly five minutes later, my dad suddenly pointed something out moving through the sky. This is the part that freaked both of us out. It looked like an absolutely enormous pair of wings, probably 15–20 feet across from our perspective. The closest comparison would be giant bat-like wings, except the movement was incredibly smooth and elegant. It was completely silent.
The wings seemed to have a very subtle glow and almost translucent appearance. We could not make out a head. We could not make out a tail. I couldn’t even clearly identify a central body. What stood out was just this enormous wing-shaped form silently moving through the darkness. My dad saw it too. This was not something I noticed alone and then convinced myself I saw. Afterward I started Googling descriptions because neither of us knew what the hell we had just seen.
That’s when I found the old post by u/idontknow5501 describing an 18–20 foot pair of wings, subtle glow, almost see-through appearance, and no visible head or tail. That stopped me in my tracks because we had already used those same words to describe what we saw before finding the post. That’s the reason I’m posting this.
u/idontknow5501 — if you’re still around, I would really like to compare what you saw with what my dad and I saw tonight. Has anyone else seen something like this? Particularly in Oregon or the Pacific Northwest? I’m not claiming it was an alien, an angel, a cryptid, or anything supernatural. I genuinely don’t know what it was. I’d actually welcome a normal explanation. But whatever we saw was strange enough that both of us are still trying to process it.
