NARRATIVE

Clear sky, many stars visible. Stepped off my front porch and looked upwards, facing south-by-southwest, when I saw an object, star-like in appearance, flying in a tight circle around the star Aldebaran of the Taurus constellation. I only witnessed this strange behavior for a second or two before the object suddenly stopped and took off in a straight line to the left, passing through the center of the Orion constellation and continuing on until it was out of sight. It took 45-60 seconds to cross the sky, moving at what seemed a slower pace than when it was circling the star.
