The first idea that crosses my mind is a jet that is approaching your
friend's vantage point and then turns 90 degrees right or left.

The object had about 20 multicolored lights that flashed on and off
over several seconds. It was diffuse (black area between the lights)
and it appeared motionless for 8-10 minutes before moving off rapidly.
It didn't look like any jet I've seen.
