Very bright light, and much (100x) larger than any star, approx 30 degrees off the horizon and stationary

Shortly after sunset noticed a bright white light in the sky that was stationary. Live near NAS Whidbey, and their jets were having heightened activity much of the afternoon. Being able to follow their lights at night and not just the sound, I was able to see the jets doing a perimeter around the light as it hung in the sky. Over the course of 4 hours, it moved very little from where I originally saw it. A call to the base was answered saying they "could not provide me with any information." About a month ago, my fiancee was at the beach about a mile from our home around midnight and she said she saw several of them. The light was over the Pacific Ocean, WNW of the north gate of NAS Whidbey. There were strange noises throughout the night similar to a cello mixed with the echoes of a crotch rocket, that is the best I can describe it. Increased, abnormal military activity today as well.
