Pentagon shape.

I was young at the time of visual cant be exact of the year but I can remember it was the same day a water spout had hit our local beach earlier on the day.

I was supposed to be in bed very late at night, but snuck out to play on the large trampoline we had and I was laying on the trampoline to look at the stars as at the time, the little town at the time the light pollution was very low so the stars were shining brightly.

I was laying there for about 3 min and everything was fine until I focused my vision to a small section of night sky directly above me. Out of no where I had seen this thing that wasn't there just a second ago. I couldn't be sure of the shape as it had no edges or sides it was a section of sky the only points that were visible were 5 white star sizes lights in if each star was evenly apart and you were to draw a pentagon shape and the stars were at each points of the pentagon rotating clockwise at a moderate speed, I could tell it had a solid center as I couldn't see the stars that was previously there leading me to believe the stars had been blocked. The size of the object would compare to if you were to hold your arm out to the sky holding a large Australian 50c coin to the sky that would be a fair comparison. There where no sounds but the waves crashing almost 1km away but I was certain it was above me not knowing what it was I just laid there continue watching I wasn't scared just fascinated I was laying there for about 4 min watching and I felt like it was doing the same, I started to get excited and ran inside to tell my parents but they didn't believe me and yelled at me for being out of bed I then ran out side and it was gone. The whole experience was not of fear but excitement in curiosity these where my feelings.

Please only contact me through email or leave a voice message for me to contact you back as I have never told anyone about tis except my parents and I don't want anyone knowing as I fear ridicule.
