obseved star like UFO fading from very bright to a dim red light, disappering altogether and reappering for 25 minutes at 11:25 July 22

At 11:25 PM on 07/22/09. I witnessed a star like shape that was 3x brighter than Venus.

I was out to my patio after hearing a number of fireworks.

After looking at the fireworks I gazed at the skyline looking east and little south at about 30 degrees off the horizon. The object was not moving. I went inside to grab my field glasses. After looking for several minutes and not finding them I went back to observing. The object had moved slightly. It was in the direction of the city of Bellevue WA. I face Lake Washington, living in the Sand Point area.

Watching for another several minutes the object started to fade in strength and dim to a red color. Then it disappeared altogether for 10 seconds, returning to full strength again.

This pattern repeated three times, moving slightly on the horizon in south direction.

Cloud cover stopped my observation. Total time of event was 30 minutes. 11:25 pm to 11:55pm 07/22/09.
