Reported: 2012-12-21 00:09 Pacific
Duration: 4 hours
No of observers: 1

Location: Bremerton, WA, USA

Shape: Diamond
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Large object in a possibly diamond shape emitting bright orange-yellow lights on the horizon over Puget Sound.

I watched this very bright light over Puget Sound on the horizon all night.

At 2330, it moved to about 11 o'clock in the sky, which it got considerably smaller and the color became more of a white light. At this point, it looks more like a star. Perhaps the light on the horizon went away, when I changed rooms?

I went back to the other room where I sat watching it, and it was no longer there at 2330.

I watched the light earlier thinking it to be a helicopter, but it sat there all night. I do see lots of airplanes coming off that horizon, but it stayed too stationary to be an airplane.

I've watched a similar light in the direction of southeast of Mt Rainier over Puget Sound just on the horizon previously. This light was there night after night after night a month or so ago.
