Last night, I stepped out of the staff caff, on my way back to my room, and stopped to look at the stars. It was slightly hazy, but everything was clearly visible. One especially bright star caught my attention. It seemed to be in an odd location, actually, and as I watched it, it began to dance around in jerky, almost circular movements.

Again, they don't move with that jerky, erratic pattern. It was definitely up high, above the haze. One of the guys stepped out of the staff caff at that point, and the "star" stopped its strange little dance, and flew straight up until it disappeared.

I really couldn't say what it was. File that one under "as yet unexplained..."
