Bright star flashing red, green/blue, white

[Aliensanctuary]

I've seen it in previous years, a bright, fixed star in the southeastern sky that rapidly flashes colors, while a nearby planet just as bright in the east does not. One explanation is that it's Sirius, but the flashing colors from that star alone do not make sense. At 0530 it's about 40 degrees above the horizon in early September. 

 

I've seen something similar, an object with the red, green or blue, and white flashing lights, but slowly traveling south to north. The lights didn't flash as fast, as I recall. I thought the lights were attached to a balloon as they seemed to be much closer than a star.

It's either swamp gas, a satellite, or a UFO.

The belt of Orion points downward in the general direction of this pulsating star.

 

Both my wife and I saw three glowing orbs slowly traveling northward in the sky over the Maxwell, CA rest stop on I-5 a number of years ago. Would have liked to have a video of that.

I was amazed to see a new bright star in the sky early this morning, amazed because I could see it even without my glasses on. I put on my glasses for a better look: turned out to be a reflection of the little light on my smoke alarm.
