Full Report Text:
Large bright white light traveling quicky in the Northwest sky I was getting ready for bed and around 1:15 my dog wanted to go outside. I let her out and waited about 15 minutes then started for the back door and noticed a big white light through the window. My first thought was that it was a street light and maybe the storm had knocked down trees that normally block them on the next street over.
When I opened the door I saw the light was over the trees and moving very fast traveling East in the Northwest sky making no sound. It was as large and bright as a streetlight! I watched it for several seconds until it was blocked by a neighbor's tree. I ran inside to grab my phone and headed out the front door but it was gone.
I went back in and out the backdoor to get my dog and she would not come to me. She was crying and would not come out from underneath the house. I finally had to coax her to come out.

Hovering red light over Parkersburg While driving home heading south within city limits we noticed a bright red light hovering(it was stationary) in the sky above. At first it appeared to resemble a low air craft as earlier there was a low flying helicopter. However this light was not moving and we noticed it wasn't making any sounds.
After remaining stationary for several seconds the light started to fade (wife says fizzle)then it changed to a bright white light and then faded and vanished.
