pulsating light, hovers, disappears

I have disregarded my experiences of the past couple weeks, but due to the unusual nature, I had to look at some websites to further investigate and came across yours to find out if anything was occuring in my area. While nothing has been reported here, I'm still not convinced that what I've seen is of reason, so I decided to post my sightings. I am giving a summary of what has occured on 3 different occasions over the past 3 weeks, with the latest incident being tonight. Looking to the north (as the bird flies, towards Allentown), a light begins to rise above the tree line. As the light rises, ever so slowly, it's brightness grows in intensity. The light will begin to travel east, then, without reason, shift west at an exceptional rate of speed. At this point the object will hover for about 1-2 minutes with a varied, pulsating level of brightness; then without warning the object grows real bright and simply disappears. For minutes I will stand searching the sky with no trace of there ever being anything there to begin with. What makes these occurences more unusual is that after each sighting, it has been accompanied with a "shooting star". As rare as it is for one to see a shooting star, I find it odd that after each of the 3 sightings there was the presence of a steaking light across the sky in the direction of the sighting that one one would normally dismiss as a shooting star. If anyone has seen anything of this nature in the area, please make a post. It would be nice to know that my fiance and I aren't the only ones seeing this.
