Red and blue flashing lights in star like object ..IT MOVED

I was telling my son in law about a star like object that I had seen for the last four nights, in the same northwestern portion of the sky. I had watched this light for approx 4 hours the first night. It looked like a star but through binoculars it was clearly pulsating blue and red lights with a white light in the center.

It did not appear to move but though it looked as though it was very far away it shown very brightly.

On this fourth night I shared the binoculars with several people who tried to come up with some explanation.

We had just about concluded that as the internet suggested, it must be the refraction of light between us and a planet causing red and blue flashing appearance when the light within seconds moved to the horizon low to the earth but still probably hundreds or thousands of miles away.

No planet or star would move in this manner and no aircraft could have covered the distance so quickly.

Now I am really wondering what this is and if it will return!
