Myself and 3 friends were camping at South Mountain State park at the Sawtooth campsite. Its an opened cleared site with a nice view of the sky. Approx 10:30 May 9th 2015, I was looking up at the stars by the fire. I notice a "star" blink bright then disappeared. Catching my attention, I focused my eyes on the spot I saw it. About 5-10 sec later the object blinked bright then off, but in a different spot.Amazed, i called to my friends to look up at it, wait and watch. They too witness the object blink bright then off in different spots as if it was traveling. The blinking delay was about 5-10 sec each time with no constant light like on an aircraft. I first thought it might have been the ISS, because about 30 mins or so prior, we spotted a "satellite". But the slow blinking and change in direction meant it was something else.After further research I believe it was in the area on the constellation of Hercules. The object travel from what I believe is the "left most" shoulder of Hercules to the right...in a span of about 3-4 blinks. Then Changed direction toward the "knee" of Hercules in a span of about 3 blinks. Then the object changed direction again, moving right towards the "bow" of Hercules for about 3-4 blinks.The brightest during the blink on was roughly 120% the brightness of the stars in Hercules. As the object moved towards Hercules's Bow, the intensity faded to nothing in about 2-3 blinks. I believe it sped away fastThe altitude seemed to be that of a commercial satellite.The feeling was excitment of spotting and watching it change direction. That alone tells me its not normal. As such, I'm convinced it was indeed a UFO.
