Summary : object seen moving from one star to another

Just a 12 year old fascinated with the stars. Forgive the lack of information on this as it was over thirty years ago. I was lying on my front lawn looking easterly at the stars and as I was focused on two stars no more than 1- 2 inches apart I saw a star like light go from the southern star to the northern one. The light appeared to be as large as the two stars and did not diminish the star departed nor in- crease the star arrived upon. There were no flareups and no noises. I continued to watch but witnessed nothing further. They were medium in brightness and viewed by the naked eye.
