Mufon has confirmed sightings here before.

It has rotated with the stars for the past 2 nights in the north-eastern sky.

It displays yellow,red,blue,and white colors.Blinking brightly. At first I thought it might be a helicopter; but as time progressed it seems to move with the stars. I have a Jason Rotary Power 540 telescope and spent at least 30 mins trying to see what the object is but as yet; still no clue. Whatever it may be it doesnt look normal. Check it out and see what you can figure out.Its not hard to find.

It sticks out like a sore thumb.

NUFORC Note:

Given that the object of interest was viewed for 3.5 hours, we suspect that it may be a celestial body, either a star or planet. Only inspection of the object, and its location in the night sky, could resolve whether the object is anything unusual. PD
