Colourful -brief- interlude in the evening skies above ID

Wow!
At approx. 22:35hrs looking mostly N/NE in the nite-time sky as I sat in the outdoor seating area just outside the Spokane Convention Center did appear a black flash, off in the distance. Altitude of these events? Difficult to even guesstimate IMO at this point in time. And as best as I can describe these first time observable 'things' above. It reminded me almost instantly of footage of the Black Knight satellite. Being as it was THAT dark. Darker than dark. And the shape, dimensions of that (BK)/a craft/satellite.
Peculiar thing about this area in the sky tonight off in the distance over N. Idaho is that prior, around 21:44hrs or so did appear in a very very quick evolving and decaying (mostly subdued in colour) a blue -flash!- and a fuzzy dark red dot. The dot remained static and stayed visible the longest. Approximately in the same area of the visible dark sky.
This 'play' conjured up imagery I revisited on a recent train ride up the coast (West Coast). A truly bizarre scenario that played out (real-time, physical. Contact of the 4th Kind?) in one of the back alleys near the Steam Plant here (yr.2012-13) where in an area in the clear blue daytime sky 'slid open' like a door on rollers one afternoon just above a loading dock area. *on this revisit had to remind myself that Fairchild AFB is merely up the road from where this took place. Like that. Unmistakable 'fracture' of the very air, space around you.
And then tonight, for whatever reason. That ever so dark shape. -flash!- or -pop!- into observable view, no visible 'light' flashing. Yet, how to describe objects and events not observed by me personally prior, and processed in THAT grouping is/was unknown territory to me. Visually acquainted now, going forward...
