Northern angle of sight 30-45 degree angle from ground Bright light came down zig zaged then straight down and fizzeled out. Saw same event yesterday 1/1/00 at western direction at approx 9 pm

On 1/1/00 (approximately 9:00 pm)saw a bright light at a 45 degree angle from the ground. Then it fizzeled out. Conditions in atmosphere were clear. Object went too fast to be a plane too large to be a meteorite. Object was white in appearance. On 1/2/00 (approximately 7:34 pm)saw same object at a northerly 45 degree angle from the ground. Object went straight down towards the ground and proceeded to zig zag and then continued straight down. Conditions were clear. Witnessed by my girlfriend and I. Within minutes after the event the sky was filled with 3 objects obviously airplanes heading in a westerly direction with very minimal space between them. Possibly military. We currently live 10 miles outsite the Hanford Nuclear Reservation which covers 450 square miles. So if object was picked up on radar military aircraft would have been scrambled to verify object.
