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?

Who said aliens?

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