I went outside to smoke in the evening, where I looked up and saw an abnormally bright star. Upon further inspection, I noticed a flicker, the flicker was not constant, although there were certain flashes of blue, red and white light.

I live in Muizenberg, Cape Town, South Africa. The main object was located about 30 degrees above the earth, to the east.

The 2nd object was also about 30 degrees above the earth, not so bright and was approaching more to the Northwest. The objects just stayed there, however, the "main" object seemed to be moving in a southerly direction.

3 other people saw it, mother, father and my university friend.

Biography of observers:

My father is an electronics engineer, my mother is a manager of a financial firm, my friend and I are studying medicine at the University of Cape Town.

My only misfortune is the lack of a telescope or a camera stable enough to zoom in with sufficient quality.
