White flashing object hovers and retreats back over 40 minute time frame.
My 15 year-old brother happened to glance in the window and noticed a strange object hovering a few miles aways directly in the western sky just before dusk. It was just over the treeline of the horizon. It looked to be about three miles away. It definitely had glimmering lights that were flashing and the lights color was white. At the beginning of the sighting, it was still light outside and no stars were visible. We determined for certain that it was NOT a satellite, a meteor, a blimp, a comet, etc. Because they move and this object was stationary for about 15 minutes! I thought it may be the star Sirius cause I know a little about astronomy and it is the brightest star in our constellations over Earth. But when we went outside to investigate further, we saw more signs that this was an unexplaniable phenomenon. We had high-quality binochulars, and we both saw in them that the object was silver colored. Then the most amazing thing happened. We both witnesssed the object very quickly move to the southwest and then several seconds later returned exactly to where it was prior. Then a few minutes elapsed and it suddenly moved very quickly further from our view in a backwards motion. It was no longer visible, which means it cannot be a star. We moved back further about twenty-feet and up a slight hill on the side of our property. We could see the object again. My brother and I think that the object was being operated by intelligent forces because of the way it moved so fast and deliberately. After a couple of more minutes the object retreated a distance into the west and we could no longer see it.
