Changin Lights in the Sky!

We are in the Black Mountains of Western North Carolina.My wife and I were walking east to west around 8 pm . we saw a bright color changing light in the north/west sky. It was the brightest thing in the sky. a little bigger than the brightest star.8:00 PM we arrived home and viewed the object with binoculars for 15 minutes. It changed from red to white to green and seemed to change shape at times.We phoned our friends, about 6 miles to the west of us ,thinking they would be closer to the object.They observed the object as we did. We stayed on the phone with each other for a few minutes conferming what we were seeing. We saw the same thing . 15 minutes later it ''blinked '' out , gone. it is a cold clear night . planes flying around the area. This object seemed stationary.
