In the night time sky

[taloho]

The other night while I was sitting on my porch. It was around 4 am, yes, I'm a night owl. Anyways I was looking at the stars, and other things that you can see in the night sky. When a small object showed up. I have seen satellites, and planets. But this was different, oh how I wished I had a telescope, to get a better view. The thing I saw was flashing out different colors (red, green, blue, white). It would flash out red, then green, then blue, then white, and would repeat over and over again. I finally went back indoors after a while, and it was still there. And it was only there that one time. I have not seen it before or since then.

Strange, I remember the first time I saw the space station go past...It was like a huge star and moved like any other satilite across the sky but it really freaked me and my friend out (it was also directly above us).

I've seen a few ufo's, the one that was most difficult to explain was when I was listening to Jimmi and laying down and chilling out and then I opened my eye's and saw a red dot...I was watching it for a few seconds and then it dissapeared right in front of me...

If you want an easy way to get into astronomy. This application is amazing....
