Last night I was seeing off my parents who had been baby sitting when I looked up to see two very bright stars. They apeared to be both slowly moving towards the ground (which is how I noticed them).
I asked my parents to look up and one of the "what looked like a star" went straight up. I was quite excited by this.. And with a blink of an eye the other star which had stop moving down disappeared. Then the higher star on the left then also disappeared. I know this seems very strange.. and no I wasn't drinking. My parents weren't as impressed as I was but had seen the same thing.
Any ideas?
