I was outside finishing a cigarette and noticed a bright flash in my peripheral vision. i live under a flight path so i thought it was a plane. noticed the lights were brighter and lower than any other plane paths, also they were bright orange not white like the planes. i tried to get a closer look (still convinced it was a plane) but the light surrounding it was distorted and blurry, kind of like there was a lot of fog around the lights. this is going to sound crazy but it was almost like this thing was moving fast and bright in order to get my attention, then it slowed right down and changed once i realised this was not a plane or meteor. it changed colour to white and went from approx. sun-sized to large star-sized, before slowly pathing up and remaining there, hovering, and pulsing lights like it was dimming and relighting itself. then it started flashing different colours as well within the light itself. red and white mostly. i didn't stick around to watch it for much longer as i didn't really want to see it take off or disappear. i spent about 10mins watching it and just paying attention.
