Shape: Flash


Bright flashing light travels erratically in both pulsing pattern and trajectory for extended period

I was scanning the sky using high quality 10x50 binoculars when I saw a stationary bright object flashing just north and slightly below the moon. Within seconds it started heading "down" starting with a basic flashing pattern of 2 and 1, but then it changed along with its trajectory. The light was extremely bright most of the time, and then it would dim-- the timing was very erratic, and it just darted about. It stayed in the vicinity of the moon and Jupiter for about 20 minutes and I finally went inside. With binoculars, you got the sense that whatever it was, it was trying to get attention, as anyone scanning the sky with equipment at that time could not have missed it. It could not, however be seen by the naked eye. Before I went inside, I saw a perfect rectangle cloud directly overhead.
