How Does a Radio Telescope Work?

-- Zoran | May 5, 2019

Question:

Passed more then 4 years since I am searching for the object that me and my girlfriend saw that night in July, 2017. We ware watching the stars that night like we usually do and enjoy a lot and suddenly after about 2 hours of watching, there was star like object that was there the whole time started to move in round and after about two round circles it started to shine off/on and disappear and it was gone, we ware waiting a hour later but the object was long gone. I was searching for possible solutions since then and didn’t find anything, except my theory that a black hole was there near the star and the star got into the black hole.
