They’re anti-collision lights. They have to be really bright to be effective at interstellar speeds.

  Interstellar speeds certainly must be in excess of the speed of light (or those creatures are chill with cruising for thousands of years), so they wouldn't do much good. :)

  Wouldn’t an FTL spacecraft appear to be traveling in reverse and exhibit extreme redshifting to an observer on Earth?

    Probably not within the atmosphere.

      I can't imagine that a ship traveling faster than light through an atmosphere would do great things for said atmosphere.
