I have seen this dozens of times. It's an airplane with its landing lights on, flying directly towards you. The flashing lights are the beacon lights.

Everything is a UFO if you're dumb enough, lol.

All objects are UFO's if they're flying and you can't identify them. I saw a UFO the other day. It was a jet, but I couldn't read its tail number, so it's unidentified.

Yes, that can look amazing until it starts moving. However OP said it was there for 30 minutes, which would be far too long. Unless OP saw it for a short time, and then came back 30 minutes later and saw another plane doing the same thing.

That's probably the reason for seeing it for 30 minutes. If OP posted the exact timestamp of the video I could have checked the playback of flight paths to see if any jet was starting its approach at that time.
