i think i spotted a U.F.O. help plz

yeah its 2:30 Toledo Ohio

i was just out smokin a cig look at stars and i was looking at this bright one
took my eyes off of it look at it again and its moving so i'm like its just a plane

but then it stop it seem like it and it moves really slowly compared to another plane i seen up there its got a bright red or gold red look
its still up there

i showed someone they thought it was a star then i said it moves
so they think it could be a satelite sry i cant get pics

it was lookin straight up at orion about north west of the top star of orion

maybe bright gold u know what i mean

my binoculars suck and i cant get a pic out here in the dark

so its just judgin from the naked eye

there these two stars it looks like its aproaching but it still has yet to cross them

located more north of orion top star

okay it just did a circle

those two stars i thought it was headed for

it turn left and went the other way and continued to turn to a full 360

i'm gonna moniter this for awhile

oh well i'm not sure what it is

20 views no one sigh

its look more like a star now just sitting there it look like it was moving though sigh

Are you outside on a laptop? Do you have a video camera? Interesting.... Well, I guess if it's doing circles it's not a satellite Keep us posted.

nah i'm on a desktop i just keep going in and out checking on it

i didnt want to post untill i was absolutely sure it moved

i'm gonna take a look now pause

sorry guys thought i was on to somthing i swear to God i saw it moving since a little before 2:30 to 3:00

but now it just looks like a star up there somebody should be able to see it if it is

its not like one of those bright blue stars its gotta another color
gold or real bright but not blue is the only way i can describe it

Sorry, but IMO this thread is useless without any pics or videos.

But again, it could be anything...

I don't think that it is useless. Maybe someone who lives in the area could be able to second the sighting and verify what has been stated?

If not, then nothing has been lost and you really have no reason to read this thread any further.

If I read a thread that said something was happening in my night-time sky, then I would be straight out the door to check it out!

What's wrong with being tipped off to look up?

We see lights like that out over the Lake Erie every once in a great while... lol, depends when one just happens to be looking out at the night sky really when it comes down to it.

Thanks for sharing. You've inspired me to look out there now to see if anything's out there in my neck of the woods (Fairport Harbor).

Yes, that would be the star Aldebaran.

It tends to have a red/gold appearance.

earthsky.org

...Aldebaran, the brightest star in Taurus the Bull. This star appears red in color and is sometimes thought of as the fiery Eye of the Bull.

I'm also in Toledo. What direction were you looking? At what point on the horizon? It's raining and completely cloudy right now but I can go out and look tomorrow to see if I see the same thing, if you can give me more info.
