So far, this is the evidence I am reading for these things being UFO's:
1) They're bright
2) There are at least two right next to each other, like a "double star"
3) They twinkle
4) They seem to have been in roughly the same relative spot in the sky for at least five months.
I guess the thing I'm struggling with is:
Why couldn't this just be a bright double star? The fact that they are now brighter than they were five months ago is perfectly understandable,
because as the seasons change, certain areas of the night sky become more visible or less visible. This would also explain why you can now see a third
star in their vicinity, which you could not see earlier. And I'm willing to bet that if you zoom in on ANY bright star in the sky, it will look
vaguely orb-like. Have you tried getting an image of another object that you know is just a bright star, under the same parameters you used for your
"orb" image, in order to compare them?
Also, earlier you described it as a "cylindrical sphere." This phrase makes no sense to me.
Am I just missing something here? What's all the excitement about??
