Shape: Light
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

One bright light 2 times brighter than any planet or star in the sky was following a commercial airliner in an east-northeast path across the cloudless sky. The object stayed behind (about 1 mile) and to the right or south of the airliner. The object was so bright, that after the airliner disappeared in the horizon, the object could still be seen. I have seen this same object in 1960, 1984 and now in 2008. The previous objects made a low humming sound as they passed overhead. This object did not pass overhead, it was to the south of my position, and so I don't know if it made the same sound or not.
