Lockport, NY Sighting. Hovering object pulsating and emitting different colors.

4:45 AM Friday Morning.

I was up late, working at the computer. I went to the window and opened it to get a breath of fresh air. I was shocked to see in the distance a hovering light, that was pulsating colors. It looked like somebody took a flaslight and shut it off and on repeatedly, but very quickly. I saw white, the mail color with different hues of color such as red and yellow. I watched this for about 7 minutes. The Light did not move at all, it seemed to be perfectly stationary. I would of expected some movementin a 7 minute time frame. Near the end of this event, the light became very bright and them dimmed out with a reddish hue. Then it simply vanished, sorta "winking" out.

NUFORC Note:

Based on the description by the witness, we wonder whether the light might have been the landing light on an approaching airliner, or perhaps a celestial body, which became obscured by high-level overcast. Just a surmise on our part. PD
