Stationary single object seeming to be changing colors and shapes in the night sky.
I was on my way home from work around 6:30. I noticed something unusual in the sky. It was a colorful single object. It did not appear to be moving, but it looked like it was changing colors (from white and blue to white and blue and green to the spectrum of the rainbow) and shapes (round but not a full circle, then straight and long) but it was very far away so it was hard to really see details.
I look at the sky a lot and 99.9% of the time when I think I see something strange I always end up figuring out what it is (like a plane at a weird angle so the lights are brighter than usual for a moment or something simple like that) I couldn’t figure out what this was, so I pulled my car into a shopping center, stopped my car, and tried to zoom in on it with my android cell phone. I also tried to take some pictures but I didn’t think they came out.
Then I remembered I still had my camera in my car from a trip I took recently so I tried to zoom in on the object with the zoom on my digital camera. I still couldn’t figure out what I was seeing so I took a few pictures of it. I have no idea what I captured, but I wanted to share it and see if someone could figure it out for me. I will email the pictures I took for your review.
