The setting sun is behind our heads.

1 The sun rotates, so if you take a long exposure of the sky at night the stars turn into streaks. Especially cool if you shoot due north.



I assume you are working with a digital SLR camera. If so then the larger dots that you were seeing are dust on your sensor.

So it was Venus, the North Star or lint, and not a UFO?

I'm so disapointed.
