The light in the video appears repeatedly. On some days more than five times, on other days only once, and on some days not at all. It always rises perfectly straight up from the horizon, remains stationary for a short time, and then suddenly disappears. The speed of the ascent is always the same. The location of the ascent changes (sometimes even within the same evening), but the direction in the sky is always the same.
We have been observing it regularly for about 1.5 years. It is very difficult to estimate how far away it is and therefore also to make statements about its size, etc.
What could it be?

Atmosphere scintillating a star like a rainbow through water in the atmosphere with the light but I’ve noticed the same thing in like the southern sky
Ever tried going for a drive to try and get closer?
I have been seeing exactly the same near Madrid, Spain, close to a village called El Alamo. Same description, same behaviour.
We call them sentries. They are always out in minimum of 3. They have specific conditions that will join any sighting of them. They can and do move , both very slow sometimes rapidly.
We have studied them among other phenomena for the last few years. There are other parts to them that cannot be discussed online publicly.

It’s not a star. I think it’s a plane taking off that could have turned it’s landing lights off once it reached a certain altitude. Though I would think that the strobes should be visible after that and we don’t see them here.. but the video also ends a bit too quickly.
Depending on the direction, I suppose it could be a satellite flare.
It would be nice to know the direction and a narrowed down location.
