Flickering red and blue light to the Northwest of Albany

I went outside for a cigarette, was looking at the stars as usual and noticed a flickering light. It is still there, flickering red and blue. I can see the constelation Orion, it is to the northwest of that. I look at the stars every night, and have never seen this before. I live about 2 miles from the airport, and it is not an airplane. It is stationary and I could not make out a shape with binoculars.

((ADDENDUM FROM SOURCE OF REPORT))

Flickering red and blue light to the Northeast of Albany

Correction to previous form...It is Northeast of Colonie, not Northwest.
