Space battle in the eastern sky?

There is one main light, which at first glance looks like a very bright star. It's in the eastern sky, about 35 degrees above the horizon. But it's darting around very quickly. It appears to be very far away, perhaps in orbit. At times, it apears to be triangular in shape. If you look carefully, many very faint, barely discernable points of light are streaking, swarming near the large object. Looks like a veritable space battle, with the larger object dodging the many smaller objects. After viewing for an hour, the scene has tracked with the stars in the background. Yet, the object would indeed have to be darting extremely fast to be so far away…

NUFORC Note:

Possibly the star "Sirius," we suspect. PD
