    My assumption is that you are referring to the evening skies, so I would think the two brighter stars to the north would be Vega and Altair. Another Bright star to your north would be Auriga.

    Yes, the planets Venus and Jupiter are visible in the evening sky, but they would be off to the southwest and not to the north.

    If you saw both of them in the southwest part of the sky, then it was probably Venus and Jupiter. After the Sun and the Full Moon, Venus is the third brightest object in the sky, and Jupiter is the fourth.

    A lot of UFO sightings turn out to be things like Venus and the very thin Crescent Moon because people aren't familiar with the night sky.

    One of the stars is probably Capella and the other Aldebaran. Another possibility is that it is the pair of stars that form the heads of the Gemini twins. They are close together and very similar in brightness although Pollux (the more southern star) is just a little bit brighter than Castor.

    Probably not stars, but rather the planets Jupiter and Venus.
