Bright, Strobing Arc-Shaped light hovering over Spokane Valley, MAKING 90 DEGREE TURNS!

I was driving home from work at about 11:15pm. I turned onto I-90 eastbound and immediately noticed a large strobing and, very close and abnormally bright light. At first I just thought it was an airplane or a helicopter but as I was watching it, I noticed that it wasn't moving and it was extremely close to the ground, as close as a crop duster would fly, and the light wasn't flashing like a plane's lights it was 3 bright white lights in a slight arc pattern, shifting from left to right. They where so bright I could see the body of the object being illuminated, it wasn't just a light It was an object.

I kept watching the object and as I got closer to it, it still hadn't moved. I turned off on Pines rd and stopped in the parking lot of subway to get a better look at it. It was making no sound whatsoever and I could see it was close, probably around the Spokane Valley Mall area. A minute or two after I pulled over, the object suddenly started moving very slowly, straight towards me. I tried to take a picture of it with my phone but my phone is old and the camera sucks.

It came very close to where I was, about a half mile or so, and then made an extreme 90 degree turn to the north. NOT a curve, 90 Degrees! When I saw that, I knew this was no plane. It traveled north for about 2 minute then made another 90 degree turn East for about 30 seconds then a slow dramatic wide curve South, to the original position where I saw it. As it came closer to its original position the lights just disappeared. Like turning off a light switch, I never lost sight of the object it was just gone, in an instant.

I was shocked, I hadn't in all my years in the military seen anything like that. I'll never forget this night. No one I have told believes me but I don't care if anyone believes me, I saw this thing, it freaked me the !@#$ out and I am now a believer.
