Red and Whie flashing light over Twin Cities
I saw what appeared to be a UFO from my home in Eagan last night. It was too far away to make out any shape, but after looking at my star software, I ruled out any planet, star or other celestial object. It had caught my attention because it was so bright, like a bright Mars in the sky, or a tad brighter and larger. But it was white, like a star and it was flashing red. I needed to know what it was, but after viewing my sky astronomy software and finding nothing even closely matching, I realized it must be something else. The object could be seen looking into the western sky at about 11:30pm, and finally going out of vision (very small spec by this time but the flashing red still visable) at about 2:00am, traveling very slowly in a west-ward direction. I grabbed my camcorder to see if I could zoom in any closer on this object. While I did record the flashing red, you can't make out anything else. Please let me know if you have any questions.
