a large white ball coming towards me then as I focused on it, it seemed to know somehow that I was aware of it and it turned, faster than any plane possibly could, and it's size became a pin point as it turned & headed south east. It was about twice this size of venus is this time of year. There was something very strange about it, I felt it knew I was watching it. I am located about 7 miles north of vancouver, washington at the fairgrounds exit to the east. Thankyou, ((personal data deleted))

About 9:35pm I took my dog outside to relieve himself when a BRIGHT object caught my eye--it was in the eastern sky, not very far away from me--seemed awfully close. At first I thought it was venus, then as I focused in on it I realized that it was much larger than venus, and much closer. As I focused on it, it quickly, faster than an airplane could, turned to the southeast, and as it did so, it's size became like a pin point. The strangest part of the experience was the feeling I got from it that it was fully aware of my presence. ((personal data deleted))
