I woke up around 4:45 am and went outside to smoke. I noticed something just above the tree line that was flashing different colors. As I looked at the object I noticed it was moving strangely. It seemed like it was jumping from spot to spot with no pattern. It made no sound but from what I could tell it was not close to my location. I live in the country and I'm surrounded by woods. The nearest house in that direction is at least 2 miles. If it was a drone it had to be very large to be that bright and since I live in the country who would be flying on at 5 in the morning. The event lasted at least 45 minutes and besides jumping around it stayed in the same location. I compared it with other stars to make sure my vision was clear. It was due west and maybe it was Venus but i am not sure if it is in the morning sky yet. Anyway it was very interesting.
