I have been watching the same thing for three nights in a row. The first night it was in the eastern sky for approximately 1 hr, and then it slowly went up until it disappeared. It appears to have many flashing lights and stays in the same spot for long periods of time. I watched it with binoculars and it does not seem to be a helicopter. It is very bright and at first I thought it was a star. I have seen the same exact thing for three nights in a row now. I first noticed it on March 29th, and have continued to see it every night since. It flashes very bright and seems to have green, blue and red lights. I would just like to know what this is. On another night I was in the back yard watching it and it looked very low heading towards me. All of the sudden the lights went out and it scared me because I knew it was there but I could no longer see it. It made no noise that I could hear. I became afraid and ran into the house.

NUFORC Note:

Possible sightings of "twinkling" stars?? PD
