Do you see a strange star in the sky right now? What is it?

It depends on where you live. But most reported "star" is Venus, a very bright yellow/white blob on the sky setting or rising a few hours after or before the Sun. It has two old names "Evening star" and "Morning star" refering to it setting just after the Sun sets, or rising just before the Sun rises.

You might have seen a planet if it was bright, but also a lot of stars are red.  Cooler stars give off a red color.  There is nothing unusual about it.

i have seen something odd twice. the first one when i was a child. i woke in the night and for no reason felt compelled to go into the kitchen and look out of the window, when i did there was a round light in the sky which was stationary. after a few seconds it zig zagged with incredible speed,, 3 or 4 times bfore shooting off. i was facsinated at the time and could not believe my eyes, and for many years i doubted my own experience until one day i read about someone who spoke word for word about what i had seen in a magazine and i have never doubted myself since. this is true and those doubting thomases out there will always scoff, but i say to them scoff away it is of no consequence to me. i would love to know of any other genuine sightings.

Yes, I saw an Un - Flying Object !!!

I think maybe the separation is smaller than the resolving power of my eyes rather than the angular separation of my eyes. So I can't resolve the two sources and just see one bright star. \n\nBest of luck - Mike

Yes, there are a few of them, I beleive they are called Quasars, and they fluctuate through the color spectrum. I see one a lot at my camping spot in the summer. I dont have my star chart right now, or i could tell you more about it.

Yes I have seen them all of my life...Just to name a few that I have been witness to ..A huge rectangle object that could take an entire football field to land. A silver disc right above me in the middle of the afternoon as I sit on the lake in my boat fishing..then it shot up and gone with instant speed..speed we do NOT have...an orange sphere...silver balls....a backwards c shape object we followed for 45 min...an elongated diamond that shone an intense spotlight on me before it shot up into the night ...then the very most recent was last month.\nIt was a windy night and not really that nice out, no rain just not nice. I decided to go to grab a bag of blankets from the RV that's parked down by the lake. I headed out from the cabin and was half way there when I looked at my watch and it was 12:01 am Sunday May 7th. I then went inside to grab my bag of blankets. I was in there for maybe 15  seconds and I then stepped outside and was facing west and there, right in front of me was a elongated diamond light sitting in the western sky. It was the size of the moon. If you imagine the moon being shaped to that description of an elongated diamond it was similar to the one I had witnessed last August here, but there was a dark circle in the middle of it. I stopped in my tracks as it took my breath away.\n\nIt was very clear, very visible and so very out of place. it was approx. 1/4 mile away and 300 - 400 meters up. I stared at it for about 4 or 5 seconds, suddenly there was a bright flash that lasted about 3 seconds. I quickly thought maybe it's a meteor or something burning up in the atmosphere, due to the intensity of the light, but I realized as it went back to it's original intensity, again that was not the case. As I already knew deep inside me and the fact the object wasn't moving. It sat there for another few seconds then it started upwards and towards the west and in an instant it was as small as a tiny star. I then followed it as it turned south for a second and shot up straight into space. Yes they are real..I have seen them all of my life

Midnight 'till about 2a ET.  Find a spot where there are no lights in your eyes and stare at the sky.  I hope you see some shooting stars.  Make a wish if you do...

Creepy.  I've seen lines in the sky, moving slowly, coming together and moving apart over and over.  That was creepy too!  But no I've never seen any triangles.  http://www.nuforc.org/  That's a site where regular people report their ufo sitings.  Pretty interesting, you should check it out!

You're probably seeing Venus and not a star. It usually rises or sets within hours of the Sun. If it doesn't "twinkle" it's a planet. Would be easier to tell you if you could report your latitude, time zone and time of observation aswell.

There's a relative way to interpret your question as well.  \nWhen you look at the stars, you're seeing them because of the light that travels from them to you.  It takes time for the light to reach you.  So, you're not seeing the stars as they are "now".  You're seeing them as they were in the past.  They may not even be there any longer.  They may have gone nova or even supernova (if big enough), but the information of that event traveling at the speed of light hasn't reached us yet.  Just  remember it's all relative.  So, depeneding on which oberserver you ask and how you define certain terms...just how many stars that you can see are really there?

Unidentified Flying object\n\nusually "aliens"!

You can see many of them with the naked eye, and some of the get pretty darn bright.  You can even see the inetrantional space station when it passes overhead.  Of course any of these objects will jusst look like a star moving across the sky at a decent rate.  But it is pretty cool.\n\nhttp://www.heavens-above.com will tell you exactly what is visible from your location on any night, as well as where to look.  You'll need a little bit of amature astronomy knowledge (magnitudes, reading a starchart) to get much out of it, but it is an awsome resource for this kind of thing.

I was observing Alpha Orinis (Betelgeuse) through my telescope, and I saw something seem to fly towards it, then head the other direction. I don't know what it is. Thus it was unidentified. It was obviously flying, and I will assume its an object. There you go. A UFO. Therefore, anything that is in the air, and you dont know what it is, is a UFO.

Sounds like you may be looking at Sirius, the brightest star in the  sky. It is a blue star but because of the refraction of the Earth's atmosphere appears to flash red every few seconds. It doesn't matter where you  are. It's visible this time of year anywhere in the northern hemisphere. BTW Sirius is called the dog star because it is part of the constellation Canis Major, the big dog. Canis Major looks just like a stick drawing of a dog and Sirius is its eye.

Yeah...\n\nOh wait... I'm having a moment right now! This question... Have I seen it somewhere before?\nHmmm...
