Date: august 19, 2019 time: approx. 23:00 est location: ulster county, ny, low in the sky between burlingham, ny and walker valley, ny sighting area: about 10 mins west of pine bush, ny, looking west sighting duration 5-10 mins. description: seen just above the tree tops at a distance of approx. 2-3 miles, a bright flashing light, rapidly changing colors. larger and brighter than a star, and not flashing regular faa red-green lights (as i observed the object a normal plane did fly overhead for contrast). lots of stars out, too, but this looked nothing like a star. mediocre wobbly hand-held iphone video taken that, at least, shows the rapid cycling of the flashing lights. viewed through binoculars, however, the distant object almost appeared spherical, and the different colored rapid-cycling lights were much more obvious. the object appeared motionless until it drifted away south and was gone from view behind tall trees nearby.
