Short Summary:

First I saw an orange star moving across the sky. Then I pointed my telescope at the star, and now it looked like a diamond-shaped, angular object that was rotating. It was orange and dark. It flew in a straight line over the treetops and appeared quite large. Then I panicked and ran away.
