This was, of course a UFO, which you only saw because you had spent to much
time with the X-Files CD-ROM on the front cover of "My PC at Home Format
Purchaser Buyer Info Net" magazine. You must realise that it was just a
figment of your imagination, and others who saw it were suffering from
malignant delusional hysteria.
I got a good program off a magazine a few months ago called Skymap. Have
used it a few times to identify funny spots in the sky. Print out the star
map and take it outside with a torch!

Hi all
I have a question - praps a little off topic so I will apologise in
advance.
I would like some info on a star - the twinkly variety.
About 3 weeks ago I was looking south-ish and fairly low in the sky (I
guess an elevation of about 30 degrees) I noticed a bright star that was
twinkling red, green, yellow and white. It was stationary (well seemed
to move about the same as the rest of the stars through the
evening/night) - and I have seen it since although less bright. I was
not the only observer of this star.
Has anyone got any ideas as to what star/planet it is?
Also - can anyone point me to any good astronomy sites so I can learn
more about the stars - and/or software to do the same.
TIA
Cheers all :)
