Precisely! Thought it seems at first glance a star … in terms of size (very small light)… but suddenly it can start moving..that’s why is so freaking amazing.. sometimes you have to have lot’s of patient to see, because, when you stand in a place with no light’s around… you can see 10 times more stars then if where in place with city lights… and because of that… of the innumerous small stars that have to pay attention you may think that the stars are moving…but of course it isn’t star’s, it’s something else… I truly don’t know for sure what they are… but they move with different directions and velocities and incredible, they mix little curves with strait lines etc .. erratic movement.

Education is the key

I've seen something like this before myself.

About 10 years ago I was sitting in our hot tub with my old man, looking at the stars. He pointed out what appeared to be a satalite. Now, we're both space buffs (he has a 10" Celestron Schmit-Cassegrain) and are quite used to watching satalites traverse the sky.

As we watched it move in a straight line, it suddenly made an abrupt 90 degree turn on a dime. It's speed never changed, but we both sat there with out mouths open.

Clearly nothing we know about can move that fast and make 90 turns on a dime. We concluded that yes, it was a UFO (unidentified flying object).

To this day I have no idea what it was I saw.
