Shimmering brilliant light darting and hovering in horizon above butte in Redmond, OR.

While on our back deck this evening, my daughter and her boyfriend saw a light in the horizon that was very bright and shimmering different colors. They saw it move about quickly then hover...they called me out to see it. They said it appeared to be shooting off lights. My younges daughter and I also witnessed this brillant light dart`to the right then sit still. We could see several aircraft pass directly above and below the light. It continued to move about in the same approximate place but slowly seemed to fade and became difficult to see due to trees--it seemed to be moving toward Sisters, OR. An hour later we couldn't see it anymore nor the top of the butte we live on that had seemed to be illuminated by it. I did call the local police and reported it....they said they will check it out.
