Duration: 15 seconds

Location: La Grande, OR, USA

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

I was west bound on I-84 just east of LaGrande, Oregon at about 2225, 11/8 when I obseverd three what I thought at first to be very bright stars west northwest of Lagrande over the Blue Mts. They were exceptionally bright which attracted my attention initially, but too low on the horizon to be stars.They were a white light similar to an LED light. I could not detect any movement. After 10 or 12 seconds, it just faded away. Again I could not tell if it moved away, or just faded. The sky was hazy, but clear, and stars could be seen. I am a 50 year old truck driver and travel this road daily. I am familiar with the lights and terrain of this area.
