Light formed and then cloud formed around it dissapearing, appearing and then completely gone with tiny light going away.

The light got brighter and had a cloud forming around it that got larger and looked like it was twisting around the light. The light started to get smaller and then the cloud sort of disappeared and then reappeared and then was completely gone.  My wife was walking my daughter on the other side of the complex and when she came back she stated she saw the same thing but in the opposite direction.  Mine was toward the northeast and hers was in the southwest. A tiny light looking like a star went away once the cloud dissapeared.
