"star" darting from one place to another and stoping abruptly, chnged colors and went in loops
i was sitting in my car, at about 3am, talking to a friend on the phone. i was looking off at the stars above the forest behind my house and noticed that one star had moved from where i last saw it. i kept my eye on it and literally screamed when it darted diagonally to another spot and stoped. i was scared shitless, but i still watched it. it started changing colors, from red to green to white and blue but mostly red and white. it kept doing those quick movements and a few times it went in circles or loops. i got out of my car to get a closer look and as i got about halfway accross my back yard it darted off out of sight. it wasnt very close, like i said it looked like a star at first. if it was so far away, then why did it fly off when i got closer? was it just coincidence, or what? i've seen the same thing in the same spot a few nights after, but i didnt get out of the car that time. and it stayed there for about an hour this time, doing it's thing until it disapeared behind the trees. i dont know what to think, if i should be excited or scared. what should i do if i see it again? i dont have a video camera. i dont think any of OUR aircraft can do ((deleted)) that.
