This could be a satellite.  They are easy to spot just after sunset.

Answer 5

You'll be seeing a satellite. Possible the Space Station. There are sites which you can visit which will tell you when particular satellites are visible from you location.

Answer 6

Definitely a satellite.  On a clear night you can almost guarantee seeing them in non polluted areas

Answer 7

Probably a satellite. They're quite common to see on a clear night. I remember the first time I looked at one, and ofcourse the one thought that was running through my head was, "UFO, UFO, UFO..."

I was honestly a little dissapointed when I found out otherwise ; )
