I live in southern california and there is a point of light about the size of a star, but brighter and still twinkles, that varies in position from night to night, but stays stationary as far as I can tell during one night. There are two lights that alternate which are red and blue. Ive always wondered what this could be...a sattelite in geo sycronous orbit possibly?

This is not venus. I work with radio telescopes and am familiar with where venus is in the sky. It happens to be setting near sunset right now, so it's obviously not a planet. Ive looked at it through a small telescope and saw two distinct lights blinking on and off (blue and red).

It's not LAX, I live in the desert, and the lights are in the sky!

it was in the southwest at about 30 degrees at 5am. That is an estimate, im not really sure what the coordinates would be.

It's not the ISS either because that zooms by really fast if you catch a glimpse of it.
