We have actually seen a light very bright on three different occasions all three times have been at night. The first time we watched for about two hours. A very bright light, too bright to be a star, that hovers for just about in the same place for several hours, but during that time it will move sideways, stop hover, then move in half circles,then stop and hover again. At one point it started moving very fast toward us (my husband & myself) then it stopped again and hovered. An airplane doesnt hover for several hours in the same place. It has been very cold so we have watched it then gone inside to get warm, then it will at some point be gone when we return outside to look at it. Our dog warned us about it the first time I saw it, he was barking and going nuts. As soon as we spotted it, the dog settled down. Thats the way he reports things to us. He did the same thing when there was an automobile accident on our road. We love about 15 miles from Spokane out in the country. On one occasion we called our neighbor across the road, and he said he has been watching this strange light for several months now. Hasn't said anything to anybody because he didnt want anyone to think he was crazy. My husband and I on one occasion went driving to the direction of it and when we got to just about where it should have been it was gone. We have seen it on three different nights, so far. I guess thats about it.
