Makes sense...If you’ve never seen one, they don’t exist...

“it “moves” both slowly and rapidly” Balderdash. But I expect people will believe any lie now.

Yeah, Sirius can be a really amazing sight sometimes. You’ll see it blue-red-white when it is low in the sky and it can be mesmerizing. I suggest you pick up the iPhone Sky View, or any of the several similar apps, for some great spring sky watching.

Sirius is actually a double star or binary star system and the two are very close together. If fact, Sirius is so bright, it takes pretty good optics to separate the two...Under good conditions, I've done it...It's not real easy due to the intense brightness of Sirius.
The companion star is called the Pup...

Okay, Beatrice. There was no alien, and the flash of light you saw in the sky wasn't a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted the light from Venus --

Hey!
The Pup is on the list to see over the next few years. This year it is only 10 sec of arc from Sirius A, but, on a good clear, stable night, it should be visible.
Just waiting for that to happen.
