Anyone see ufo last night? Hovered at least 3 hrs from 4am til around 730am last I checked. North of brandon slightly east from my vantage point. Red blue lights flashing. Up fairly high. Looked round hard to see with binoculors. Thought maybe a helicopter but stayed in same spot. Tilted a couple times. White lights coming to it and moving away from it a periodically.

Capella, when large bright stars get near the horizon they will flash and alternate colours. Sirius does the same. These stars are very often misunderstood

ive always found it funny that if a species intelligent enough for interstellar travel were to visit earth why would they leave the headlights on?

I saw ET at a pay phone last night.

We saw much the same lights in the sky for the last week or so. We were Eastbound on #2 about #21 South turnoff and saw the red and blue lights to the East of us. Didn't see any white lights. At the time we thought it may be one of the planets that was supposed to be close enough to Earth to be slightly visible.

are likely seeing another bright star rising, Sirius.

Drones. I love science and the mysteries of the universe and feel there must be intelligent life beyond our tiny DOT in the universe: I doubt if they were visiting us they would make it so obvious.  
 
Last July 1 there was one flying up behind Wal*Mart that looked similar to what you are describing.

Makes one wonder though and curious

Keep in mind that when someone says "UFO" they may just mean [i]Unidentified flying object[/i] and not aliens.  
 
I've noticed some stars, especially a bright one in the south-east sky can really vividly blink red blue and green, the atmosphere is just splitting the starlight like a prism.

I have to remember this one! Love it!
