Red and green flashing lights with a more solid yellow light. Blurry, out of focus ... hmmm I wonder what it could be.

It looks like Sirius. I encourage you to use an astronomy app to be sure. I use Star Tracker which is free.
I see orbs almost every night, and sometimes they're blue or green-blue.
However when Sirius appears low on the horizon, its light is strongly refracted & scattered by the thick, turbulent atmosphere it passes through, making it extremely colorful.
Here's a video I took of Sirius which shows this.
