Shooting stars/meteors?

Hi

I was just looking through my binoculars in the direction of Orion/Betelgeuse and I saw several moving stars. They were travelling across the sky but not visible with the naked eye. What could these have been?

Fascinating.

Thanks in advance.

Karen

I mean, of course, the naked eye. Lapse of concentration there!

Thanks,
Karen

Dear Karen,
Maybe artificial satellites.

I'd say satellites. I normally see a few through my telescope finder when I'm out and occasionally one passes through the scope's field of view.
