When you look at the sky, you see a lot of white little dots, probably planets and stars, well, what if you see something similar, about the same size?? I have had answers saying that they are satellites, okay now my question is what is it something about the same size, but instead of a straight path, it zig zags, and/or does erratic movements like chanching paths, but at the same speed, does not blink, does not flash, too far for helicopter, or airplane.

Then I'd probably go see an optometrist.

Are you suggesting UFOs?

Well, it is a UFO, but I'm sure there's a rational explanation.

First of all : look after sunset in a southern direction : bright planet Venus is presently high in the sky, and the moon in early first quarter is very near to it. You can not miss them! (see : Venus as Evening Star) (http://www.curtrenz.com/astronomical.html).

No "white little dots" ever zig-zag, as they are not optically moving, but we are (positioned at a stable rotating planet earth).
At a dark night you can see many man-made satellites passing over - at relative high speed. But they neither zig-zag.
You can see "moving (falling) stars" - infalling dust particles called Meteors.
But when and where did you see "these little dots that zig-zag" personally?

Do you see it everyday? If you do, then it's probably not UFO's or whatever.
