Objects flickering red and green seemingly hover in the sky for well over an hour.
My husband and I were sitting outside and looking at what we thought was Mars (it was reddish and to the West), but the flashing light made us think it must be a plane or helicopter. However, we soon realised that it couldn't be since it wasn't really moving, although it did seem to be flickering. We got our binoculars to get a closer look and saw green and red neon-like lights, they were coming on and encircling the object in turn. When I say encircling, though, I don't mean that the shape was altogether circular, but parts seemed to be saucer-like.
The lights continued to flicker so that I could show my neighbours at 23:20. Together we identified Mars and they were as mystified as we were (are).
We went out again at midnight and could see 3 in relatively close proximity. We are wondering whether the haze could be causing this effect.
((NUFORC Note: We suspect that a celestial body, either a star or a planet, may have been the cause of the sighting. PD))
