Duration: 1 minute +/-
No of observers: 1

Location: Wauconda, WA, USA

Shape: Light

large light crosses sky getting smaller and smaller then gets big and shoots off at high speed

We live in a very rural area with no city lights nearby. The night sky was clear. I stepped out of the back door of the house and observed a circular blue-white light about 3" in diameter at arms length coming from the north heading toward the southeast at approx. satelite speed. When I first saw the object it was about 20 degrees elevation in the north. The object became gradually smaller as it proceeded across the sky until in the southeastern sky at about 70 degrees elevation it instantly returned to a 3" size at arms length again and shot off at a high rate of speed along the same trajectory.
