Up in the Sky, it's a ... a... what is it

Shirley spotted it first

We put the binocs on it
Rising in the east, shimmering and changing color, red, blue, white, almost flickering

Later, finally found it on a sky chart
Skymaps.com - Publication Quality Sky Maps & Star Charts
Sirius

Must have been atmospherics
Cold dry air, maybe some very high, thin clouds
