billytheghillie Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Just been out a walk with dog and looking due East i seen a light flashing red, green, blue just above the horizon. Watched it for a few minutes but it did not move. Looked it up on P.C. and my hunch was right, it is Sirius, the dog star. Fascinating reading on the history of it. Anyone else see it?

billytheghillie Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 No, not a plane, just googled it and it appears that it can be a rainbow of colours due to the gases in the atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
