Characteristics: Lights on object

odd lower trajectory over crowded metropolitan area - morphed from single engine aircraft to irregular lighting pattern

small unidentifiable aircraft, low elevation, inaudible, two to three different colored lights (red/white), very low speed, no FAA registration id located From my vantage point in my apartment at 1960 Fulton St., it flew at a SW-NE direction at an altitude of about 600 feet (in reference to Transamerica Building comparison). Lost visual aircraft contact level with Gillson Hall on USF campus.

At a certain point this aircraft was very identifiable to me as a small single engine Cessna-type aircraft. However, it flew in a rather odd trajectory with the only identifiable features being an alternating red and white flashing lite.

I have spent some time gathering info. to report to the FAA and am submitting to this site first.
