I believe the star was the angel of the Lord that came upon the shepherds in the field and “shone round about them” (Luke 2:8,9). Just like the angle of the Lord that led the camp of Israel trough the wilderness, the angel looked like a pillar of fire (Exodus 14:19, 24). Also like the angel of the Lord that appeared to Moses as flame of fire out of the midst of a bush (Exodus 3:2).

Nowadays, an angel in this form would be describe as a UFO – something glowing and flying. Chew on that one for a bit.
