zig zag light, with a green after glow

I was walking my dog and noticing how clear the night sky was.
 Suddenly a ball of light bounced up from the horizon and stopped. I thought I was seeing things and just kept starring at the light. It stood still, so I brushed it off as a star and kept walking, but kept my eye on it, after 20 seconds, the light started zig zagging, thought maybe it was a drone, suddenly the light stopped moving, turned off, and you can see a green light (almost like electricity) flickering where the light was..
 after 20 seconds the light came back and lit up the entire sky, from that moment I could tell that the light was actually in space, because it lit up the space around it as if it was some sort of explosion, allowing you to gauge the distance.. and it was reallly far... then the light when back to it's normal light and continued to zig zag before heading east really fast.
