Full Report Text:
A bright star made right-angle turns without deceleration and sped down over the horizon. My wife and I were viewing the stars outside a friend's home on a hilltop in rural Maine. I was watching a medium sized bright yellowish star moving slowly in a straight line from East to West directly overhead and was trying to determine if it was a plane.
It appeared to be as far away as the stars. I asked ((female name deleted)) to look and we both watched as the star, just a steady bright light with no blinking, made a perfect right-angle turn towards the North with no deceleration whatsoever, travelled for around 10 seconds in a straight line Northward, and then made another right-angle turn Westward, travelled in a straight line Westward for 5 seconds and then accelerated and zoomed towards and over the horizon. At no time did we see sparks or any sort of trail like a meteor would make.
It was just a yellowish star doing something I couldn't since find any way of explaining.

I awoke for work one morning and as my usual routine I let the dog out first thing and I also look at the sky to check the weather. As I opened the door I noticed a very bright star in the southeastern sky. It seemed larger then a star should be and it suddenly seemed to grow in intensity as if it had noticed me looking at it.
I took a quick second to refocus my eyes and as I did that it arced away upward, like a hook, so fast i could barely see it disapear. The previous night I had been playing with a flash light aiming it up at the sky. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.
