Location: Sterling, VA, USA

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Emitted beams, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby
Large flashing lights in sky that seemed cohesive but stationary- red, blue, white flashes.
In the night sky close to midnight I saw what I thought was a plane or helicopter but realized it did not move. It was stationary and very bright, flashing red, blue and white lights.
I estimated it to be 2-3 miles away at medium altitude. It appeared very large- bigger than an airliner.
I watched it flash for at least 30 minutes at work.
Upon returning home I noticed it was still in the sky and it demonstrated the same characteristics. It absolutely did not move. The flashing lights would increase and decrease in intensity.
I watched it from my apartment complex parking lot for another 30 minutes at least. I saw it, bar workers from my neighboring workplace saw it and my child saw it.
At some points we saw it seem to emit beams- white in color.
It seemed to have a haze around it at points.
Will send poor quality video later.
