I awoke suddenly at 2:00a.m. & looked out into the sky and saw what I thought to be a very bright falling star. It disappeard, & thought nothing of it. I looked out side again & there it was. What I though was the wind blowing the trees making it appear & disappear. Looked more like a light blinking off and on. There was no wind. I looked away & it was gone. I looked out side again & there was a bright light in a different place. I watched it & realized it was "hovering" and the light around it seemed to be circling it, as in movement, very high & moving a little, & asked my boyfriend to look. He also saw it moving. I watched it as is slowly moved out of sight.

The object was very far away & was very hard to tell what shape it was. There was a light that looked to be circling the out side of it, because it wasn't completely lit on what looked to be the top & bottom of it. It also seem to have a main light that circled it. It moved in up & down & side to side & hovering motions. The light would be very dim at times & very bright at others. It gradually, slowly moved in a wesward direction, on the same plane of travel.
