We noticed an object suspended in the air at dusk. Object remained stationery for a time. The object then moved vertically and disappeared. On the 27th of August 1999, my brother and I were traveling westbound on I70. My brother first noticed a light in the western sky. He turned and asked me what it was. He had been observing this light for approximately 30 seconds before I saw the same light. We both then observed this light from approximately 1950 to 2000 hrs.

At approximately 2000 hrs. it then begin to move slowly in a vertical direction. It took approximately 3 to 5 seconds before it disappeared completely. The movement that was observed was very fluid.
