Colors vary, when recorded and zoomed in there are multi colored strobes, with what appears to be a halo effect. Appears to be spinning nearly akin to animation of an atom, with orbs of rapidly changing light patterns. The colors are bright and vivid, varying quickly from red to a deep yet vibrant purple. The object appears to be rapidly coming closer, then will fade in an irregular movement. Somehow it becomes no dimmer however, and the light pixilates as it moves in a horizontal back and forth motion. When watching the video replay, it appears to be spinning very very rapidly and varies from disk to an oblong shape.

Walked outside - saw what I thought was two stars close together. Appeared to become one star and began to be a Pulsating light that changed color and brightness, lots of freefalls that were huge drops and sharp 90 degree turns all over sky - would fade away and come back flashing multiple colors. Called my wife outside to witness
