Shape: Flash | Duration: 40min
Source:

Two unidentifiable flashing light, relatively stationary, observed in sky at approximately 21:40, and stayed there for 40 mins.I went outside to have my evening smoke where i looked up and saw an abnormally bright star. Upon further inspection i noticed flickering, the flickering was not constant although there were definite flashes of blue, red and white light. I live in Muizenberg, Cape Town, South Africa. The main object was approximately 30degrees, above the land, toward the East. the 2nd object was also at approximately 30degrees above land, not as bright, and more toward NNW. The objects just stayed there, however the 'Main' object did seem to move in jolts in a Southerly direction. 3other people saw it, Mother, Father, and a university friend of mine. Backgrounds of observres: Father- Electronic Development engineer, Mother-Management of financial firm, Myself and Friend are studying medicine at University of Cape Town. My only misfortune is not having a telescope, or camera stable enough to zoom in with enough quality.
