I was on the porch smoking a cigarette, looking up and I saw something that looked like a normal star, with the exception that it was changing its colors in a pattern, from red, to green, blue, yellow and red again. After about 1 minute, it started to move rapidly and chaotically, after which it froze in mid air, while continuing to change colors. Later, something that looked like a meteor came from the ground, going towards the object. It appeared to have entered it, or merged with it. The object then remained in the air for another 5 minutes or so, after which it stopped blinking (or turned off its lights).((NUFORC Note: Date may be flawed. Possibly should read November 04th, not October 4th. Report may be of a twinkling star, but we cannot be certain. PD))
