I was driving down 40 on my way home from work. It was about midnight. The clouds seemed to be moving independently of each other. Except for one. It just seemed stationary and there was a bright light behind it. I wouldnt have thought anything of it but it didnt move or waver at all. as I passed under it I noticed it just remained where it was. unlike the moon when you drive continuously moving on the horizon with you. There was no noise at all and I opened my window to be sure. Silent. Couldnt have been a helicopter. I also know it wasnt the moon as the new moon was January 23 and we are not due for first quarter until January 30th. I dont know what it was but when i exited the highway...I could still see it behind me in the exact same spot.

bright flash in bellingham area.

A flash of light lit my whole house. My dog freaked out. At the same time a friend who lives 15 miles away witnessed this same light and his dog freaked out aswell. I was wondering if anyone else noticed this. I have never seen a UFO and don't nessasarly beleive in them, but I can not think of another explaination. My girlfriend has witnessed a similar occurance. Winter lighting???
