I was driving home from work at 11:45pm and I saw a large bright light at the end of the dirt road where I lived.  It was behind the trees near my driveway and at first I thought it was an airplane but the light never moved.  When I pulled into the driveway, I saw that the light had moved.  It was now lower in the sky and seemed to be maybe 2 miles to the east of my cabin.  It didn't move or flash.  Very odd place for a light to be.
I had 75 acres of wetland and it adjoined state land which is also wetland for several miles, then forest.  I give this description to put into prospective that I lived at the end of dead end road with no souls living to the east of me.
The light was steady and was just above the treeline several miles away. I stood in the driveway and watched it for about five minutes.  I went inside and let the dog out and then went to the window to look at the light again.  It had moved again.  It was now north a bit and when I moved my head to get a better view from a different window pane, the light disappeared from view behind an out building.  I went back out into the yard to see it again, but the light was gone.
Date is approximate.  PD
