Original Title: How many people here have witnessed an anomalous luminous object in the night sky that has traveled in one direction, stopped, moved around, traveled in another direction, moved back to the prior point, etc?
From what I've read it's somewhat common for people to report these types of objects that appear to be a moving "star" at night (spherical shape, high luminosity, the light is often white, normally brighter than a star, light is pulsating or a static luminous appearance).
The objects often travel from one side of the sky to another point, then display anomalous activity since they pause, reverse direction, move in different directions, reappear, etc.
I witnessed one lastnight( ), and I was wondering if there is any conventional explanation for this? Or has anyone viewed one of these through a telescope?
