NUFORC Sighting 101257

Occurred: 2013-08-16 22:00 Local
Reported: 2013-08-17 09:23 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Syracuse, NY, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

At approximate time given I went outside my front door to observe a flashing stationary object composed of a red and yellow cluster blinking in a sequence of one second intervals over the area of Schiller Park(?) perhaps.

I thought it was a helicopter but it did not move at all and was composed of numerous lights of a bright and prismatic quality unlike a helicopter, it gradually blinked out slowly each a longer time until it just dissipated in the same stationary position.

I do not know what this was and it did not resemble any known craft or natural object I had ever seen. It did not move and it was blinking fairly brightly and then it winked out.
