Our area of the city Cape Town loadshedded meaning electricity goes off for 2 hours which allowed for a clear view sky, there was a light blue light which travelled extremely fast. It moved from one point to another forming a triangular shape and then disappeared.

I was looking up at the sky because I have insomnia and noticed a star-like object moving through the sky in a sort of zig zagged direction. It kept going dim and then suddenly shining brighter than the other stars, as if it was bouncing from one area to the next. It was moving very close to the other stars as if it was exploring them. It would go near a star (and look less than a mm away from the star from where I'm standing) and then suddenly dart to another star.

It was 18:40 South African time and I was looking up at the sky and saw an object travelling very fast in an exact straight line almost like it was on a fixed track. I mentioned it to someone and they said it could have been a drone but i doubt it, it was too fast and no "publicly available" drone as far as I know travels in a perfectly straight line. It could have been a shooting star but it was an unusually long duration and it brightness never changed which is the norm (again as far as i know). There could well be some rational explanation but all I know if I've never seen anything like that.

While driving, we stopped to see constellation. As watched toward North, there were two bright stars shining in lower sky and we were wondering what stars they are. one of us who had a tracking stars app on his cellphone tried to focus on them to find out what they are. It was around one minutes struggling to focus by cellphone, and suddenly they disappeared. I searched on internet and found the shape similar to what we saw.
