Blinking light near Lyra that doesn't move. Around 9:30 p.m., my wife had stepped out for some fresh air, she came back in a couple minutes later and said she saw what she thought was a small shooting star or a beam of light. She went back outside and a few minutes later I followed. She says there is a blinking light up there. I look directly overhead and see between the constellations Lyra and Cygnus (closer to Lyra) what appears to be about a 3.5 magnitude star completely blinking on and off. The light was blueish-white in color with possible hints of orange and thru binoculars is just a pinpoint of light not moving in relation to the numerous background stars and is clearly blinking 'on and off'. After about 10-15 minutes of watching, it faded out but never appeared to move at least not any perceivable amount. Never saw any more beams of light or other anomalies.

Blinking light near Lyra that doesn't move.

Around 9:30 p.m., my wife had stepped out for some fresh air, she came back in a couple minutes later and said she saw what she thought was a small shooting star or a beam of light. She went back outside and a few minutes later I followed.

She says there is a blinking light up there. I look directly overhead and see between the constellations Lyra and Cygnus (closer to Lyra) what appears to be about a 3.5 magnitude star completely blinking on and off. The light was blueish-white in color with possible hints of orange and thru binoculars is just a pinpoint of light not moving in relation to the numerous background stars and is clearly blinking 'on and off'.

After about 10-15 minutes of watching, it faded out but never appeared to move at least not any perceivable amount. Never saw any more beams of light or other anomalies.
