Did anyone else see this strange light in the sky Thursday night (4/9)?
A witness came into the store and filed a report Friday morning.
They were in Snowden, WA looking south at around 9:43 at about 45 degrees above the horizon. They observed this pulsing light with their eyes, through binoculars, and with the cell camera that filmed this physically stabilized footage.

It constantly cycled through all the colors of the rainbow (it was much more vivid than what is seen in the video).

It did not follow a flight path like a satellite or airplane, but rather stayed generally in one area of the sky where it bobbed and wandered. the movement seen is not from camera movement.
The experience lasted for 20-30 minutes.

If you saw anything similar, please comment or stop by Margie's Outdoor Store to let us know.

We've updated the Paranormal Info Center in the Store. Come in a check it out.
