Strange characteristics. Flashing lights, an odd configuration, and blue, red, and white colors. What do you think it is?

Well since you started the thread, why don't you go first?

What do you think they are and why do you think that?
 
Looks like a series of towers - cell phone, radio, etc, in the distance and partially obscured by fog. Easy way to tell would be to have a picture of that area during daytime.

I checked news stories on this and it is reported to have been seen just SW of the Coronado Bridge. Here's a view of that area:

This is sorta important: is the picture from the same angle?

No..not the same angle as this pic is from above and over the ocean. I can't verify what angle the video was taken from.

"The lights appeared southwest of Coronado Bridge, the Sun Times reported.

Larry Fox, San Diego resident, told NBC San Diego the lights looked like a strobe light and shone in red, blue and green colors.

Fox viewed the stationary lights from the Del Cerro neighborhood, pointing out it could not have been a plane or a drone. “It was a series of flashing lights. If it was a plane, it would have moved.”===http://sandiego.suntimes.com/sd-news/7/92/124865/lights-spotted-over-san-diego/

San Diego/Miramar has a wing of V-22 Ospreys. They can (and often do) hover.

Just southwest of the bridge is the US Naval Amphibious Base Coronado. (I think that Navy Seals operate from there.) That big rectangular pier-shaped thing is the northern end of it. The main San Diego Navy Base (the Pacific Fleet's home port) is along the top of the bay, to the right of the bridge. The top of the photo (to the east) is San Diego proper (downtown is outside the photo, off to the left/north), the bottom (west) is Coronado. Mexico is to the right, about 10 miles.

Given the abundance of military facilities nearby, I'd say that rotary wing aircraft capable of hovering, whether helicopters, drones or Ospreys, might be common around there. And given the quantity of local air traffic in a place like that, I'd expect them to have bright running lights, to prevent other aircraft from running into them.
 
Yeah, because it's always spaceships and never military technology, right?
 
At least we know military technology exists. No such evidence for flying saucers.
 
I didn't say it was, I just said it's more likely to be that than a spaceship.
