My first thought was LED kite, but I kept looking at it, and it certainly can pass as some kind of craft. I'm a believer. This is just the first one I've seen that looks like it isn't going for total disguise.
The shape is deceiving as the collimation (calibration) of the telescope is off.

When I've looked at Sirius through my telescope, it typically oscillates between blue and red, though (like a giant police colored binary star). It also looked totally crazy, totally different than other stars I've looked at before. The image you show looks like it has more color range than Sirius, though.
I have a 127mm telescope but only 1 lens that doesnt zoom too far (the moon takes up about 90% of the eye relief when focused).
So how do you know it is Sirius? and that's not just what you've been told so you write it off?

have you seen it before?
it looks beautiful, like a crystal or a prism that breaks light.
How far away from you was it, what would you estimate?
It's been in the back of my mind for some time. As well, you can find videos of this same object dated 2009. None before that though. How far? In space.
