NUFORC Sighting 88381

Occurred: 2012-04-12 21:20 Local
Reported: 2012-04-12 21:47 Pacific
Duration: 4 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Coulee City, WA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Changed Colo

The light appeared at first to look like an airplane light but there were no flashing lights and it was lower than the planes usually fly over this area. It was moving east at a slower speed than most planes as well. The odd part was it was a white light that seemed to slowly fade as if it were slowing burning out, like a flashlight when the battery is starting to die, it lit back up and then quickly went out. No tail was visible.

We are working professionals reporting this to see if anyone else saw the same thing. The night sky was clear and stars were visible.
