Lights in the sky make themselves known.

My boyfriend and I were saying our goodbyes for the night while looking up in the sky. I noticed two particular "stars" that were very near each other. I saw one start moving to the north in an arc while the other one stayed still. Then the second "star" moved to the west, also in an arc. Due to the trees, I lost the second one behind the high pine trees. However, my boyfriend followed the first until it faded away.

About five minutes later, I spot another moving "star" and then the fourth another five minutes after that. I know for a fact that our government does not have aircraft that can fly that high in our atmosphere at a constant high rate speed. I call them "stars" because that is how they looked due to being so high up in the atmosphere.

After the moving "stars", my boyfriend sees a very bright light. A light too bright to be a planet. Also, there was no "twinkling" to it, but a pulsating light. We know where Venus is in relation to the moon as well as Mars.

Every night, my boyfriend and I watch the skies and wish aloud that there was no light pollution to affect our view. He went home to tell his family about it and to show them the bright, pulsating "star". They too have confirmed that it is "moving" across the sky at a faster rate than the Moon, Venus, and the North Star.
