No pictures. Just descriptions.
I am sitting on the beach, on the East Coast, at about 1130pm.
I see 2 phenomenons at the same time, and not sure if they're related.
Off in the horizon, just above the ocean horizon, as far as I can see to the East, I see a large, bright light, that flashes briefly, about once every 2 minutes.
It is both the size and the color of the sun (but not the actual shape). However, I know it is not the sunset, because for one thing, it's 1130pm, and for another it's in the east, and of course the sun sets in the West. And also, it flashes, rather than stays consistent.
Anyhow, while the color and the size resembles the sun. The shape is similar, but different. The shape is as if you sliced off both the top and the bottom of the sun, in a straight line, so all that's left to the shape is the middle portion of the sun. So basically that giant shape, with a giant orange hue, flashes for about a second, and it happens about every 2 minutes.
That's one incident.
Then at the roughly the same time, I see another thing happening. Again, not sure if it's related.
This one isn't near the horizon, but directly above me in the night sky.
I see about 3 or 4 RED lights in the sky, and they start out in some weird geometric formation, and then they suddenly dart about, extremely fast, and in random directions, unlike any aircraft movement I have ever seen. But unlike the orange light just above the horizon, that flashes every couple minutes, these tiny red lights, move almost constantly with some very brief pauses.
Any ideas on what either, or both of these, might be ?
