Last summer I saw one almost every night. This "winter" (wait, we had no winter, we had a spring for a winter, wtf), til now I've been seeing 2 or 3 at different areas of the sky at night when I'm out smokin at work. My coworkers see them, but they don't care. I don't think I buy into the "scintillation" garbage, why would "scintillation" make a star look like flashing police car lights! Plus, why would one do it, and another star close to/next to it be perfectly normal white and unblinking?! Scintillation my patooty. I can't believe I can't find out anything on astronomy sites, etc. The stuff I DO find, others asking same thing, don't get answered, cept wit scintillation. Come on, I mean, come on, what's goin' on? Years later, still no one knows? Don't you dare say the 's' word.

I grew up being around planes since my father was a pilot. It doesn't matter how high up a plane, jet etc is you will still hear something from this particular object. And yes there are military aircrafts that can hover for about 5 mins at max time. However they do not flash these particular colors. I have been watching the sky for quite some time now myself. I do not know what you saw, however it was not a plane. I have been watching several different random nights since Jan of this year seen some different and unusual "lights" in the night sky. On April 20th while I was watching the meteor shower that night I also noticed three very unusual blue lights. Now these lights were not round like "o" you see the stars at night they were more flat but yet still had a bit of curve to the sides of them. Very hard to describe these particular lights. Which were also slowly moving upward into the sky heading east away from the mountains. How I knew these were not normal was that fact that randomly they would jump erratically left and then right and then start to move upward again. All three of these "lights" were in the same area of the sky but in different places. One of the "lights" that was the bigger of the three had three small like "dot lights" that was following its movement pattern One on the bottom left and two bottom right. As I was watching these three objects in the corner of my right eye I noticed a rather large orangish/redish light that was moving very quickly across the sky. This much larger "object" was just moving at a smooth but rather quick speed randomly it would just stop and sit in one place in the sky for about eh 2 to 3 mins then start moving again. This "light" was also not round like a O it was more flatter but still curved around the sides. This one also had two smaller dot like "lights" close by one was upper right side of this thing and the other was bottom left. As this particular "light" moved the two small dot like objects moved along with it as well. Then after about 30 mins of this it got really bright and was just gone. Same with the two small dot like objects. I went back and looked at the original three I was watching before and they were much higher in the sky and farther away and there were much more smaller dot like "lights" around these three and they too were moving. I have also seen something really up close at night that I am not sure if I want to go into detail with. Anyways I am not sure what these are but I do know for a fact these are NOT planes! And not satellites. I to would like to know exactly what I am watching at night. Ohh and that night I counted at least 20 unusual flatter curved on the side "lights" that were as well slowly moving across the sky that night. Only thing I can say it every now and then take a peak and just enjoy the wonders of space. and if they are "alien crafts" ok. Lets just hope that they are friendly beings hehe... Either way it does make for an interesting evening at night.

I've been observing these objects for over 4 years or more...
I began to notice it especially in the east north east horizon-comes up around 8 9 or 10 pst....
When i first started observing this I thought it was a helicopter with police lights
never moved though
4 years later now, I noticed theres one much brighter and closer in the west south west horizon
much brighter... doing the same thing flashing mutilple colors at a fast rate... seems not to move or maybe slightly
after 2 years of closer observation I notice another object higher up on the horizon... same type of flashing so a total of three.... in a pyramid shape arrangement far apart from eachother
now more recently as I started to look farther into the distances in the skies I can see that theres more than three
theres actually more like 8 or even more, there further away but if you have good enough vision and a rural area with a dark sky, far away from the ocean with no cloud banks...
I'm in the desert
about two weeks ago I witnessed a ufo fly up to the blinking object and link up with or something and then it shot into the distance away from earth and uimaginable speeds
the ufo that linked up to the object had no lights on it and just looked like a white blur
clearly a craft, these blinking objects are some kind of extraterrestrial stations
without a doubt 100% sure it happen
