Light over Aventura (N.Miami Beach), FL

The report, as filed

Tonight walking along the water outside my Condo property looking toward the Northwest, I noticed a very bright “star” that caught my attention because I live in a light polluted area where stars are not usually visible. This “star” was steady, too bright, and remained in the same location in the sky. As I was wondering about it, the “star” started a series of “bursts.” From a steady, very bright illumination, its bursts were clearly visible but not as bright. It then would return to being a steady, very bright light until the next series of bursts. I got out my camera to take a picture but kept missing the bursts so I switched to video. In the video you can see the bursts. Although I tried to keep the camera steady, the movement in the video is the camera, not the “star,” which remained steady. The only movement I could discern were the bursts.
