Ball of moving light over North County, San Diego

In North County, San Diego: Vista, Oceanside, Camp Pendleton area there was a light that was brighter than anything else in the sky and was flashing/twinkling bright red, blue and white colors. The colors were crisp and bright, had a gem like sparkle, the red looking like a ruby. They flashed in different areas looking as though they were moving around a shape. But at this point it sat so still, we continued to believe it was a heavenly body of some sort.

But the lights looked so conspicuously different than anything else, we continued to observe it carefully. At first it moved about the speed of a bright planet setting on the horizon. Then it seemed to set fast but had moved slightly south. We lost sight of it and it looked like it was gone so we ignored it for about 10 minutes.

Suddenly, it was there again sitting in the sky higher up than when we last saw it and much further to the south, more in front of us. It started to move north at an upward angle for a short distance. Then floated in a straight line down towards Earth. Then upwards again ending with a slight but definitely perceptible fast, zig zag pattern. It's hard to describe it's ability to change it's movements – it drifted, floated, cruised and had the fast zig zag motion.

Losing altitude it moved south at an angle, the lights stopped flashing, it took on a pod appearance and drifted south in a straight line and we lost sight of it.

Shortly after wards, the sky appeared active with military aircraft.

Did anyone else see this?
