No of observers: 1

Location: Canfield, OH, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

White light east southeast of here seems to be flashing red and blue

I see one white light that is flashing red and blue, I thought it might be an airplane but it hasn't moved in over 20 minutes not up not down no movement. There are no towers over that way that I've ever seen before. And I often look as I usually look at the sky while walking my dog. I was looking at Orion this evening when I noticed this thing it was almost straight down from the first star in Orions belt. I'm still observing it does seem to be getting somewhat higher but still a white light flashing red and blue. Maybe its a star I don't know I've never vseen a star flash like that before

NUFORC Note:

The report is not inconsistent with a bright star that appears in the southeastern sky during the early morning hours. We have received many reports about it.
