Strange Light emiting object changing shape and intensity of light, caught on video

At approx 1:24 am Jan 4, 2001 I heard a strange waivering humming sound from above our residence. I recorded this event using my digital cam recorded I obseverd a spec of light directly above my residence. The light was pulsating on and off, them began to explode and dispersing the light until it was no longer visible. Then the light would appear again and re-shape it self into an oblong shape similiar to looking at a full moon with the north and south poles choped off. The oblong shape would then very quickly implode into a brighter light souce with different color gasses surrounding it and changing shape. The movements the object were quick jerky back and forth movements across the sky. The object would cycle thru the changing of shape and intensity of light for the four minutes I recorded it.

NUFORC Note:

We will attempt to view the video. However, the description by the witness makes us wonder whether the camcorder was set on "Auto Focus." If that was the case, it could explain the constantly changing shape of the object. PD
