Duration: 30 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Johnson County, KS, USA

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Lights on object

White light with alternating green and red lights

From approximately 75th and state line in Kansas CIty Mo we saw to SW at about 20% angle a constant white light. I thought I also saw a blue and red light. I got the binoculars and then saw a red light to the right of the white light pulsing. A bit lower and to left of the white light was the blue light, which also pulsed. My brother kept saying it was Sirius but thats ridiculous. The object slowly moved to our right which would be northerly not setting like a star. And it was moving faster than a star would.

NUFORC Note:

Report is consistent with a "twinkling" star. It may have been the star, "Sirius," which is reported to NUFORC almost nightly.
