Strange light hovers outside of Kingsville

When driving south of Kingsville towards Ricardo we noticed a bright light in the southwestern sky. Initially we thought it was a planet, but there was a glow around it that wasnt shared by the stars visible in the shy near it.

We drove onto a back road for a better view and observed as the light moved from side to side and up and down, seemingly at random. It also changed color several times as we watched. It ranged from orange, red, blue, and green. The brightness of the light also varied during the time we watched. It was always the brightest object ib the sky, but it seemed to periodically change in brightness, often emitting different colors of light in different directions.

As we watched we noticed an abundance of aircraft from the nearby naval base flying towards or in the area.
