Okay yesterday around twelve at night my Dad, Mum, and I went out side to watch the meteor shower. We looked east and we saw what I guess was a star but it kept on changing colours? They were red, green, white, yellow, blue, and orange. I know it wasn't a plane because it wasn't moving. It just stayed in the same place. It was bright though and it didn't fade. So, that rules out meteor, comet, gamma ray burst, planet and as far as I know stars don't change colour they twinkle. Both my parents saw it.

It was a bit to high to be an ad. Plus they place it was above I've been past a million times and there isn't an ad that high. It was about 4 times the higher.

Its a star. sure you're some1 special.
(just don't get a big head about it)
Stars twinkle when we see them from the Earth's surface because we are viewing them through thick layers of turbulent (moving) air in the Earth's atmosphere.
or it could be a binary star (two stars) system

I agree with the 2 answerers before me. It was most likely a star; when stars "twinkle" they can easily seem to change color.
