light moving east to west

Around 2150, 14Jan99, I was watching aircraft in their approach pattern to SeaTac International Airport. The approach was from the north to the south. I was watching a Boeing 737 on final when I saw a traffic signal green in color light directly over head. The conditions were, light s/w winds, overcast sky. The approaching aircraft were below the cloud base. The light apeared to either be in the clouds or was bright enough to shine thru them (as a car head light would shine thru fog). The light was about the size of a pencil eraser and had difussed light around it about twice it's size. I first observed the light at about 90 degrees above me and watched until about 30 degres to my front. The light was traveling on a 270 degree (west/true not magnetic) compass reading. The light did not fade out it just went out like a light would go out if you turned off a switch.
