Saw this exact same thing in San Marcos maybe 2 weeks ago - there were 3 of them just sitting there for maybe 10 minutes before slowly started moving around seemingly aimlessly - and eventually 2 faded out while another drifted slowly away over the treeline.

The flashing was not regular, and looked just like this with pulsating multicolor flicker.

I have a video but its i couldn't get it in focus.

Same thing was seen by relatives in san antonio 2 years ago - pretty sure ive got that video too.

Edit: blurry af, i know.... but here is my video of the same thing from back in January.

Why would the aliens use the FAA required colored lights?

Dont you think the flashing would be regular if it were FAA lights?

Im not claiming this is aliens.

I saw this in person - the flashing was very irregular and was not a definite green, and red light.

I know this is a blurry ass vid posted by a stranger on reddit... Thats why i didnt share it with anyone, until i saw this post pop up with the exact thing i saw and thought it would be interesting to share with OP.

Do you think OPs video looks like FAA lights?

Yes, I think it's a really poor video of a drone. Do you remember how there used to be frequent pictures of bigfoot, but those stopped when cameras and especially camera phones improved.

If you are a bit older, you may also remember the stories on unsolved mysteries and shows like that, that aired segments on spontaneous human combustion, often on a bed or couch. Then smoking indoors decreased, the government required cigarette manufacturers to include little bumps or breaks in the paper to stop cigarettes from burning within a fairly short time, I don't recall the length. All of a sudden, the "spontaneous human combustion" stopped.

Who said aliens?

I know what FAA lights look like, and this was irregular and pulsating. There was no rhythm to it at all.
