Bright round white object is stationary then moves until a smaller orb absorbs into it causing the object to change red.
At 5:49pm facing the northeast sky I observed a bright stationary object. It was slightly bigger and brighter than other stars in the sky but I noticed it started moving shortly after I started watching it.
At first I thought it was star, then once it started moving and I realized it wasn’t flashing like an airplane I started to record. It was round and very bright. Larger than an airplane and if I had to take a guess its altitude was between 8-12,000 ft. It moved constantly from the northeast to the east/southeast. The color of the object was still white but growing and fading back and forth. Kind of like a candle light.
After recording for 31 seconds, I looked at my flight Rader app to verify it wasn’t an airplane because the object wasn’t flashing any lights and wasn’t at the right altitude either coming into our airport (object was flying away from our airport) or leaving from our airport (altitude would have been to high in proximity from airport if object just took off). The flight Rader app showed no flights to the direction I was looking above Springfield matching what I was seeing in the sky.
As I was watching the object I noticed a very small light white orb zigzag over to the object (still moving to the east/southeast). As the tiny orb zigzagged up to the white round object, the orb was absorbed into the larger white object. Immediately after the orb was absorbed, I started recording again and the white object was now flickering and changed to a deep red color. The object flickered out and just faded out, vanishing. The viability was clear with no clouds.
