    Were you looking through a scope?
    How slow/fast were they moving?

    If you were looking through a scope/bino's it could have been Jupiters moons. Io, Callisto, Europa and Ganymede.

    They visibly change position slowly every 2 hours or so.

    This account is great for knowing what formation they're in https://twitter.com/jupitermoonpos

    However they dont visibly move fast
