Bright white, slightly flickering light that "wobbled" slightly, but VERY rapidly and wastoo bright and big for a star or planet.
Just after 6 AM on Januray 25, 2006, heading north on my way to the commuter lot to pick up riders, I noticed what I first assumed was the bright approach light of an airliner. Sometimes, they can appear stationary when they are headed straight towards you. There were several other aircraft in other parts of the sky, all clearly moving in various directions. But this light remained stationary in relation to the moon, which was visible to the east. I and my passengers coud see it all the way into the Washington DC area. It seemed much too bright and large to be a star or planet, but I didn't really give it much more thought. However, this morning, same time, same route, it was there again. The moon was lower in the sky than it was two days ago, but the light was in the same place. This time, I paid more attention to it. While I waited at the commuter lot, I watched this light closely. Ever so often, it seemed to move up, down, and side to side, very slightly, and very rapidly. I guess you'd call it a barely discernable wobble. Coincidentally, one of the riders from two days before got in, and I called his attention to the light. As we sat waiting for another rider, we both watched it, and he observed it wobble. I've seen bright lights in the sky before, and never really thought much about it. But the "wobble factor" of this one really has me wondering.
