Reported: 2018-07-23 01:05 Pacific
Duration: ~20 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Vancouver, WA, USA

Shape: Cross
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Yellow, rotating, cross-like object in midnight sky.

There was complete darkness outside as it was past midnight, and there was one object that seemed to be almost a yellow tinged color with a cross like shape. Almost seemed to have beams out the sides and top and bottom. It did seem to be rotating around horizontally, but in a stationary position in the sky. When rotating, the object got brighter and the shape morphed a little more rounded.

It definitely was not an aircraft, as I have flown and studied them. It was stationary in the sky with no altitude change during the duration I was watching. It was too low to be a star/satellite.

There were aircraft flying during this 20 minute duration that exhibited no similarities to this object as they moved across the sky in a different color and flashing alternating lights.
