I thought we were crazy. We always tripped out on it too..years ago use to watch it, it looked liked a police helicopter moving around with red blue green lights. One that was so far away to but it’s a star, i guess. Now I know that everyone else also says that it moves.

At first I thought it was a plane but after 10 minutes of not moving I ran inside to get my binoculars. It definitely has a pattern of greens, reds and whites sometimes blues. It is so bright it can still be seen as clouds pass by. It can only describe it as Christmas lights or club lights. Very strange and interesting considering I always look at stars and have never seen this before….even in Australia where the night sky is crystal clear

Unless you’ve perfected time travel, isn’t the date on this (Oct. 13, 2016) incorrect?
Or is my calendar off?

Well here it is a year later , im in vegas, its 2:15 a.m and ive been lookin at the same star for the last 3 days. At first i also thought it was a plane or ?? And then a nite went by and i was thinkin maybe gases or atmosphere stuff, but i think now its a U.S. space station that has capabilities beyond what a humans mind could ever in its most creative imaginative state could fathom. Like literally eradicate any sized chunk (big, huge or small) of the globe right off the map. Manipulate our atmosphere and magnetic fields to control weather. , Create massive tornadoes, tsunamis, quakes. It has the most bizarre futuristic phenomenal global monitoring system that could zero in on a guy and notice a zit on the crack of his ass that was opened from a hard scratch with a dirty fingernail, in his apt. in his bed. Theres nothing they can’t do from this station and 9 others, most of em living quarters, they plan on watching their work from up there. We already know we can live up in space for years now, thats why the Russians, chinese, and americans been up there testin all that.. so guys those aren’t starz ur checking out, those r maybe what will keep the human race alive! ??

I couldn’t get a line, but I did get a circular and infinity motion, which looks like a mini multi-colored laser light show in my viewfinder. So very very cool!!!

It is in the Eastern sky and initially I swore I was staring at a until I jumped on Google. Go look!
