I walked outside of my front door to take trash out and immediately noticed an extremely bright light in the sky.

After seeing the bright light in the sky I called my roommate out to watch the light with me. We both observed the light changing its direction of light almost as if the object was scanning different directions. It was hovering in the same place in the sky and we watched an airplane pass in front of it while it floated. I then watched the object slide to the right and back to the left unlike any airplane or helicopter could. We both decided to go inside and come back out in 10 minutes to see if it was still there. When we went back outside to check the object was gone.
