Blue light sighted low on Southern horizon moving in very strange and erratic patterns.

On 11-21-07 at approximately 11:10 pm I was in the backyard of my home walking back to go inside after emptying my trash…

I was looking towards the south and noticed a bright blue light low on the southern horizon at about 30 degrees or so...I first thought it was an air craft as there are many air craft that fly in from south to north because of the airport's landing patterns.

As I watched , it became apparent that this was not an aircraft or helicopter because of it's very erratic movements-first it appeared to be moving north toward me than suddenly stopped and rapidly turned west and went what appeared to be only a few hundred yards, then stopped again and shot straight up returning to the first position I saw it in.

Then it dropped very low from that position and disappeared from the southern horizon for only a few seconds, then reappeared and went straight up and shot towards the east, then stopped again and got much brighter in color-(blue) and dropped down and moved rapidly to the west again, dropped down to the low southern horizon made several circular patterns, and then went out and vanished.
