Bright Rotating Light In Night Sky

One bright rotating hovering light which would change colors (white/blue/red ... possibly more, but so far away) on the backdrop of a night sky with no moon. Very far off in the distance; west of my home, perhaps over Ontario or Chino, California. Standing in my backyard stoop it moved southwest at first - movement seemed slow and not blatantly noticeable until all of a sudden I had to walk down the back steps to see it beyond my neighbors large tree and then it seemed to move northwest so that I had to reposition myself to the kitchen window to see it again. The whole occurence lasted aproximately 30 minutes with the object eventually moving west beyond my line of sight. While still watching the object, an early morning scheduled flight (I've seen and timed it before while letting my dogs out in the backyard to do their business)crossed west to east just south of my home confirming what I was seeing was not an airplane.
