I was leaving my apartment and looked up. I noticed an odd set of lights that at first I thought was possibly a Coast Guard helicopter. There was no sound. no FAA lights. I was close enough to hear if it was a helicopter. The object appeared as three or more cubes of different colors, rotating in different directions around a central red sphere. There was a multi-color glow that grew and shrank around the entire object. It moved very slowly to the northwest for 30-45 seconds. It ascended slightly, grew smaller and brighter, picked up its speed, flashed and blinked out of existence.
