I have no idea what you saw, but i know for sure that it wasnt a pole shift.
A pole shift wont affect axial tilt/orientation to stars at all and will only affect the magnetic north and south pole which is btw not currently located in the geographical north/south pole.
How fast did these stars seem to move anyways?? If what you claim you saw really happened then it sounds like whole axis of earth just shifted, which i think is highly unlikely as it would have been visible all over the world.
If you observe stars/planets near a stationary object on ground/horizon it will be normal to see stars move slowly even without the use of a telescope.

Was just skimming through this thread when this particular post jumped out. Friday night before last, as my sister's were leaving to go home, we all remarked on how strange the moon was. Instead of the normal open crescent we always associate with, the crescent was as you described - on its side so that it resembled a bull's horns pointing up. Strange enough.

I must say, though, it was a very good attempt at an explanation. Better than, say, a pole shift that happened today. And starlight lag-times are a tricky thing. Even I, for a moment, entertained the idea that it could've been a mass shift in the stars themselves a long time ago, but then the whole stars-are-different-distances thing clicked and I suddenly felt like an idiot. But it's all good, it's late here too.
To purplemonkeydishwater: I drove out to the highest, most out-of-the-way spot on the island of mine a couple hours ago and stared up at the stars for a while with the expressed purpose catching a shift in the stars like what you saw. It was a great spot for this, with a radar tower that I could use as a stationary reference. Admittedly, I didn't see any moving stars, but I did see something rather interesting... a single stationary star-like flash of light that appeared for a split second and then disappeared. I never saw it again, but it made me go "huh...that's weird".

You would think some,or any astronomer would have notice and posted it somewhere.
Have ya'll found one yet?
They would have freaked out and posted it on facebook or tweeted it for astronomers by now.
Then it would be like what happened in Egypt,Everyone and his brother would have put it out there.
Just throwing that out there.

I don't know what to tell you man, I'm sure everyone would have liked to experience this.. I can tell you this much, I have much better things to do than cook up a crazy story and slough it onto ATS.. I don't make threads, I don't care for attention.. I am somewhat of a recluse really, lol. So for me to sit and chat in this thread is something I consider to be of value to my time, hopefully we can get some closure on what is happening, but if not, perhaps it good enough to know that things are never as they seem, and to that I can attest readily.

The interesting thing is, I actually believe you. I rarely believe stuff like this, but I don't know...it's one of the more scientifically ridiculous things I've heard lately, but I believe it happened like you said it did. I don't go on excursions to higher elevations for nothing

This happened to me almost 20 years ago...but those memories don't fade. I remember it was 6-ish in the morning, walking to my bus stop (I was in HS at the time). Of course I'm the only person they pick up, it was in the back of a quiet neighborhood...safe but quiet. I remember feeling like I was being watched, specifically from the sewer grate across the street from where I was standing. To distract myself, I started staring up at the stars...my attention was transfixed to one. That particular star was motionless for at least 4 minutes...then it started moving (from my perspective) straight up. It then proceeded at something like a 45 degree angle...then just gone.
I've only told a small handful of people, but this post seems to have hit close to home. I felt like sharing. Thank you to those who also shared their stories, this can be difficult for many people. It was for me.
