I either saw this or maybe a twinkling Sirius. I was on the balcony and noticed a white dot that was flashing different colors like red and green. I asked my partner what a UFO looks like lol. It never moved, just kept flashing light like a disco star. I looked it up and came across twinkling, and specifically Sirius. I'm just now seeing that Saturn could have been visible
pretty sure this was a planet NW of me a few days ago. not sure which. no twinkling
I don't think it was that big, but I'm in the middle of Arkansas so I don't know how it would look from here. I didn't realize twinkling was a phenomena. Pretty cool to learn about. I think the atmosphere bends the light?
