Initial data
A bright object was seen over Armilla, shimmering with different colors of the rainbow. He didn't move and hung in one place for a long time.
Hypotheses
The heavenly bodies
The brightest heavenly bodies in the sky are Venus, Jupiter, and sometimes Mars and, of course, the Moon.
Venus is the bright yellow of the evening or morning star, shining in the sky on the background of evening or dawn. Maximum brightness of Venus can reach up to 4.3 m, and she is the third brightness of the sun in earth's sky after the sun and the moon. It so well reflects the light of the Sun that it is relatively easy to see and day, especially if you know the location. It manifests itself in the form of tiny blinking white dots.

Investigation
Most likely, this is an ordinary celestial body. Stellar scintillation or twinkling of stars is obtained when bright light from a distant source passes through layers of the atmosphere that differ in density and temperature, which are similar to lenses that refract light. This leads to the appearance of rainbow colors.
News: Why does Sirius twinkle with all the colors of the rainbow?
Sirius is the brightest star in the sky. At this time of year, the star twinkles iridescent, being low in the eastern part of the sky after sunset.
Roy Spencer from Huntsville, Alabama, has revealed a wonderful way to capture these colors by manually swinging his camera as he photographed Sirius.
A shutter speed of 5 seconds and defocusing was applied, the star was at an altitude of 15 degrees.
