Jupiter is basically across the solar system from Saturn right now. Jupiter also takes 11 years to go around the sun, unlike Mercury, Venus, Mars and our own planet that take a much shorter time, and who's movement is much, much more easy to see on a daily basis.

You forgot to mention the movemnt of the moon however - and OUR planet take 1 year to orbit the sun -
therby a quarter of a year would mean the _apparent location of Jupiter would have shifted by a lot - which it hasnt

On other posts put here on ats recently , it's evident that some people have noticed the unusually bright 'star' which rises and sets along the path the moon usually takes

[Jupiter has a inclination to the solar plane of only 1.3 degrees. But because the Earth has a 23 deg axial tilt, the sun will look lower in the sky during the Northern Hemisphere's winter, but at night my dear friend, it will make planets like Jupiter higher in the sky, all because of that 23 deg axial tilt. If you could see Jupiter during the summer when the sun is out, it would appear LOWER in the sky, thanks to that tilt.
The moon orbits US not the sun.

In winter we are tilted away from the sun and hence away from the ecliptic plane on which the planets can be seen travelling - I fail to see how that would make Jupiter visible so high in the sky at this time of year .
Because the moon orbits us - how then does the so called jupiter and its friend follow its track across the night sky so exactly ?
Its because its a ship in orbit . I will check on a jpl diagram but I still dont think you are going to prove this point
Another unusual factor has been the moon showing a full halo at full moon during the both the passes also - can it be explained

Get a pair of binoculars mate. You can see the 4 moons orbiting around the 'fake' Jupiter too.
