white (looked like a planet) with red and green flashing around it, like police lights. Connecticut

I was looking toward the west trying to find a comet that I had read about last week.

I noticed a blinking mostly white/ red / green light that looked like a plane.

For a half hour it stayed in the same spot, moving lower on the horizon behind a tree until I couldn't see it anymore.

At first I thought it was a hovering helicopter, but it did not move.

Very evident Green and Red flashing around the white center.

NUFORC Note:

We suspect that the witness was observing a "twinkling" star, but that is only a guess. We have corrected the date above. PD
