I was looking outside from my house, being the little astronomer I am, I quickly noticed an odd object. It was about as big as Jupiter (in the night sky of course) and it was flashing from blue to red to blue to red...
Curious, I got my telescope and went to check it out (note this is INSIDE my house, I'm looking at it with my telescope through a window) I saw it looked something like a flying saucer (I don't beleive in the UFO crap, even seeing that won't change my mind)
Here is a drawing:

I used 2 different lenses, they both were fuzzy and only produced the same image. This drawing is a certaint focus point where I saw the thing take it's saucer shape. Do you know what it is?

Most likely a flying saucer......Actually 100% sure it was.
Government might make you believe it was a plane or satellite though, and part of last night's dinner or a spot from windex on the window was in the exact location where you were looking through and gave the saucer shape.....possible the spots on your telescope and not the window. OR both..the window and the telescope.
Possibly a 3rd option is the light source has a spot on it........and gave a saucer shaped blink.

In the West, shortly after sunset, Venus is low on the horizon. In the East, an hour or so later, the star Betelgese rises just above the horizon.
If you were looking at a star or planet on the horizon through a small telescope or binoculars, you would have seen a sphere "boiling" all different colors. Could this be what you saw? Also, when you look through your telescope out a window with the window closed, you often get internal reflections in the glass which distort the image.

If this object was quite low in the sky then you were seeing it through much more atmosphere than if it were higher up, therefore the natural twinkling, distortion and flickering from color to color would be more extreme. I suspect you were looking at either a bright star or one of the planets.

I think that it is exactly not a UFO.Because i there will atleast one observatory which might have seen it and it will surely come in the newspaper.According to me i think it is a comet and the colour changes are due to the refraction of light by the moisture present in the air.THAT'S IT!!!!.........mmm really.

It's nothing much really. Just aliens playing frisbee with the White House.

It looks like a soldier's helmet to me.It might be an UFO or a meteor.
