It could be anything, something weird at night, a sound, a light or a cryptid.

I was out one night with my dad looking through a telescope at the Orion Nebula when suddenly I noticed one of the stars was moving. It was a dim light and I figured it was a satellite. I tracked it for a while, but then it came to a stop and went the other way. My dad and I swapped off tracking it for probably 10 minutes watching it come almost to a stop and go a different direction several times.

I haven’t the slightest idea what I saw. It was small and dim and sometimes it was hard to pick it out from the other stars. I imagine it had to of been either pretty small or far away. Either way it didn’t make any sense.
