Bright light moving erratically, then moving to one spot to disappear. Forest Grove, Oregon, July 20, 2003

Clear blue sky. I am lying on my back on chairs outside a hotel, waiting for people. I noticed a bright light way up in the sky. I first thought that it was a satellite reflecting the sun. But then it started to move slowly, erratically, in a small area. I discarded the idea of statellite. After more than 15-20 sec., it went on my left at a quicker speed, as a plane would go when in altitude. It stopped, and disappeared very quickly, as if flying away from earth at a dazzling speed. That's it.
