I took this footage over the midlands in Ireland last night. The lights were pulsating between blue, red, white. I,ve never seen anything similar before. And I,d like to ask the more astronomically endowed, what is it.

Could be mars, tho seems a bit too large to be mars, jupiter, saturn and mars are all similar sizes, not sure where they are in the skies though.

I think its Venus, I have been looking at it for the past few days and wondering.

Beautiful part of Ireland you are in by the way, and those clouds look like
nocilucent ones on the video.

Is it normal for it to appear to pulse from one colour to another. I,ve seen it change from blue to green, and red. Thanks

Jupiter.. Venus only makes an appearance shortly before dawn and at sunset at the moment (here in europe)
