When I was a boy at summer camp, around 1971 or 1972, I saw something odd in the stars. I was observing Orion, and saw a green, star-like object pass between the first two stars of Orion's belt. The strange thing was that it appeared to make several sharp, right-angle turns! Then it vanished. Was this just a meteorite, or was it an illusion caused by "gravitational lensing," light bent around the star that may have distorted the image.
