Stonefield Beach Oregon
Stone Beach Wayside Park, Oregon: The Stonefield Beach is located on Oregon’s west coast. Rugged and beautiful with a rich history of the
early native Americans. Stories of visitations from ships from far away abound as well as tales of grief and death.
Stonefield Beach is located approximately six miles south of Yachats in Lane County, Oregon. It extends from just north of Stonefield Beach
State Recreation Site on the north to just south of Tokatee Kloochman State Natural Area on the south. It lies 16 miles north of Florence and 170
miles SW of Portland Oregon.
Background: Alerted to a recent surge in articles concerning Stone Beach Wayside Park,OPI's interest was peaked enough to spend two nights
and days investigating the claims of extraterrestrial activity. For the sake of case background, I have provide some of the more relevant
information from one article but not all. A web search will provide you several links to the full article sites.
Article Begins-When viewing the greenish tide pool at this remote spot along the central Oregon coast, local unidentifiable flying object (UFO)
experts note it’s “a whole new color experience.” The tide pool in question fires the imagination because “rocks will float on it.”
At the same time, more serious UFO experts are wondering about Stonefield’s green goodish water that’s attracting a lot of attention from
experts, to include marine biologists at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in nearby Newport, Oregon.
OPI comment: We contacted Hatfield Marine Science Center in attempts to shed some scientific views on such comments made in this article.
Their response indicates, no available information about such claims.
Article continues-“No, it’s not some sort of algae or something from the Pacific. It’s strange, and I can’t explain it,” says Hugh Miller who’s a
member of The Trails End Paranormal Society of Oregon. “They’ve taken a lot of it,” adds Miller. “But what’s left is amazing.”
Still, even this green tide pool doesn’t get much of a rise from coastal residents who don’t want so much attention paid to this remote area where
they live off the gird for whatever reasons. “I guess it’s because there’s so much in the way of UFO sightings here in Oregon,” adds Miller whose
Trails End Paranormal Society recently held something dubbed the “Rose City Paranormal Conference” in Portland, Oct. 14-16.
“Types of UFO and paranormal activity been reported allegedly nearby residents and UFO groups” and “that the locals really wanted visitors to
stay away from this area”. And “When describing Stonefield Beach, locals have lots to say”.
OPI comment: Two days with constant exposure to the local residents and OPI concludes based on our experiences that we have not been
steered away from this area. Its possible that the local residents referred to by the UFO group had a less sinister reason to want them to move
on and leave!
Article continues-What’s interesting to local UFO hunters is that one of these “stone” lookout bunkers still sits near the top of Cape Perpetua
that looks right down on Stonefield Beach.
OPI comment: I’m not sure why this should be a show stopper for the UFO Hunters since the original purpose for these bunkers were to be
located at a point on the coast that offered the most coverage and provided the best view points.
Article continues - “It’s sort of prehistoric. There’s remains of whales, sea lions and the only place that I know of along the coast where you see
dozens of wild rabbits that are huge in size,” says Kinney. “And, there’s these people who camp out and burn fires amongst the Stonefield rock
formations that’s creepy.
OPI comment:” We did not witness any huge rabbits or rabbits at all. No strange people on the beach day or night and no people camping out at
Stonefield Beach. We did see evidence of past camp fires though. Stonefield Beach State Park Way is designated as a ‘Day Use Only” area.
Article continues - At Stonefield, there’s no popular beach spots or shops or restaurants. “There’s just death on the beach and the place reeks to
high heaven. It’s as if someone or something doesn’t want the locals or tourists to visit there,” says coastal resident Mackenzie Ryan.
OPI comment: Yes, we did find the very obvious reasons for the “place reeks to high heavens”. Mussels having attached themselves to the many
rocks formations extending out into the waters are broken free by the tides and waves. Literally free from the rocks the mussels wash ashore in
bulk where they die and decay. We even located the carcass of an adult seal that had been washed ashore nestled in between the rocks. Its fate
not a result of a UFO involvement but simply with the abundance of outcropping rocks a haven for seals, and birds to live and die.
Article continues -Ryan also notes: "These strange lights and an eerie glow that seems to light up everything around. You see the light on the
drift wood that litters the Stonefield beach, and you see it in the sky over the mountains that sit right behind this beach spot. There’s no place
like it.”
Along a grassy hill there sits -- in the sea of rocks – what can only be described as mounds of formed and hardened sand. “We can’t explain it. It’s
these small mounds and the crazy glow on everything at Stonefield that spooks us at this time of the year.”
OPI comment: We saw no lights in the sky, on the beach, on the rocks, in the tide pools or on the drift wood. We did not witness any such lights
therefore we cannot debunk their alleged origin. We can state that the Heceta Head Lighthouse is located about 7 miles south of the Stonefield
Beach park. From the information I can gather the lighthouse is supposed to have a visibility range up to 21 miles. From the distance of 7 miles
that we were at on Stonefield Beach we could not see the light either on a clear night or foggy night. Therefore, we would have to rule out the
lighthouse as being the source of the reported strange lights.
The coast skyline offers a view of incoming aircraft of international flight origin headed into Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. We also
note there are two small airports in the area, both within 20 miles, with one being Florence Municipal and the other Wakonda Beach State
Airport. Again, we cannot state whether the lights reported are from possible aircraft.
Many of the statements made about Stonefield Beach seem to be exaggerated or at the very least unverifiable.
