My family (wife and daughter) and I were outside on Saturday night 31 January 2015. It was a clear night. I looked into the sky to watch the stars when I notices 3 stars in a triangular formation. These stars were not the same as the others. The other stars were white normal stars. The 3 stars were slightly orange in color. Suddenly one of the stars left the triangular formation and moved quickly horizontally outwards in a straight line for about 200 meters (or more) and suddenly stopped and waited for about 3 seconds. It then moved into space vertically until it became smaller and could not be seen clearly. The other 2 orange colored stars next to it did not move. About a week before the incident I looked out my upstairs window and noticed an orange colored light object slightly flickering travelling towards the sky. The object was just above my house. It moved slowly yet steadily straight up towards the stars until it looked like one of the stars in space. The object was about the size of a soccer ball. The sky was also clear on that night with just a few clouds. My wife, daughter and I witnessed both events. The slightly orange coloured stars in the area above my house are not there anymore. The remaining 2 orange stars have disappeared. That area is clear. The surrounding area has the normal white stars. There was no trail of light such as a rocket emitted from both sightings. In my opinion the objects next to the stars looked like it could have been a camouflage/disguise to appear as stars.Thank you
