white (looked like a planet) with red and green flashing around it, like police lights. Connecticut I was looking toward the west trying to find a comet that I had read about last week. I noticed a blinking mostly white/ red / green light that looked like a plane. For a half hour it stayed in the same spot, moving lower on the horizon behind a tree until I couldn't see it anymore. At first I thought it was a hovering helicopter, but it did not move. Very evident Green and Red flashing around the white center.
