Question
Hi there

Well today at about near to sunrise, i noticed a strange thing in the sky.
It was a star or may be something else, which was blinking and continuously changing colors. Or at least it appeared to me that it is changing color.

It was in southeast direction at about 30 degree elevation.
At first i thought its an palne, but during my complete observation duration it didn't change location. Hence it was not a plane....
I wonder what it was??

Can you please help me out

Thnx n Regards
Sameem

Click on Islamabad, and then enter the correct date and time for when you saw this object.  You should be able to see what was in the sky at that time.

Keep looking up,

Expertise

I am not a professional astronomer by any means, but astronomy has been an interest of mine since childhood, and I am well-informed on the subject. If unable to answer someone`s question personally, I will know how to quickly find the answer online, because I keep myself informed about developments in the field and I know where to look for information.

Experience

I worked in an observatory for awhile at one point, doing various interesting things with a computer.
