Changing over Silverlake, WA

The report, as filed

Around 9:30 pm I saw a bright object in the sky that appeared to be brighter than the other stars in the sky. I went into the house to grab my cell phone to take pictures and videos. I was able to capture both pictures and videos. The still images appear both square and circular, like an aura was around the square in the center. The videos captured showed that it was spinning and moving around in the night sky, making odd movements. At times it looked like the aura would spin around spitting out little dots of white, and then it would all come back tightly to the glow. It was white/orange/and sometimes almost green. This light got brighter and brighter to my naked eye, so much so that I got the sensation it was moving closer to me. I briefly got nervous and I went inside for an hour or so, and returned to see if it was still there. I did see it each time I went back outside. My pictures and videos were all captured from 9:30 to 2 or 3 in the morning.
