Red Green lights followed by pulsating white light while in thunder
The villa we stayed in was North facing as previously stated. To the east of us were mountain ranges. Every night we observed the most amazing lightning storms we've ever seen. This 1 particular night my mum was sat out on the terrace, (i'm not going to lie she'd had a few) when she shouted "is that Mars?" I immediately went outside to observe a bright solid red ball of light, looked like a traffic light color but really bright to the north of us. At this point I shouted my wife and 4 children out. This is when it changed from red to green, again like a traffic light color. Then it went back to red, green, red, green, red. It wasn't stationery it was sort of floating around from side to side. We observed this for at least 8 mins.
Whilst this was happening to the east of us, out of the corner of your eye you could see thunderstorms rolling off the mountains. This is when the light moved slowly and steadily eastwards towards the thunderstorm. As it arrived at the thunderstorm it disappeared into the cloud but then reappeared at the very edge of the cloud, this is when it started pulsating white really fast. This is happening constantly whilst lightning is striking. After roughly 2 minutes it stopped flashing and started switching between red, green again as it moved again steadily, west back to roughly the same position I first saw it in. Then it dropped really fast towards the sea, however I didn't see it make contact with the sea as the view was obstructed by small buildings.
