Location of Sighting: Near Trout Lake, Washington
Date of Sighting: July 11, 2018
Time of Sighting: 5:45 PM PDT
Description: Our sighting was the same day about 7 miles west of Trout Lake, WA at Peterson Camp Ground. We saw a very bright shiny object at an unknown distance to the south. The object was moving slowly from east to west. The time was approximately 5:45 PM. The sky was clear and sunny. We watched with binoculars for a couple minutes until the trees obscured the view. The object looked to be metallic as if the sun was reflecting off of it. The sun was west of the object at the time. We assumed it might be Venus, but it moved faster than a planet usually does in my opinion.
Note: The witness is referring to the sighting of a white stationary object in nearby Vancouver, WA.

For many months, on any clear night, a stationary bright white light stands out just above the horizon on the west coast of Washington State.
Sounds like a bright planet.
