I stepped outside to have a cigarette and saw this in the sky to the west over the treeline of the neighbors yard. From where I stood, it was quite a decent distance away (I'm very bad at eyeballing measurements) yet seemed very defined in the sky as something out of the ordinary.
It appeared as a light that was flickering different colors in a fast, strobing fashion. As I smoked my cigarette I kept my eyes focused on it and noticed it was moving slowly. It wasn't a plane at all. There were planes in the sky at the same time I observed this and the lights on the planes weren't even remotely similar to what I was observing.
I followed it down my street heading west until it disappeared behind a far away treeline. The pictures attached are on max/close to max zoom on my iPhone 5C and edited on an app to boost contrast. Getting a good picture was not easy, considering the distance between myself and the object and the struggling with getting my phones camera to focus on full zoom in the dark. After editing them, I noticedwhatever I took a picture of seemed to have a form. I'd like to think its not easy to get a picture of something in the distance in the dark on a phone camera, yet here I am. I have other photos too, but these seemed best to post. You can draw your own conclusions from these, however. I just know what I saw was out of the ordinary, and I'm happy to share it with anyone interested.
