Taking pictures of the northern lights. Suddenly a bright light appeared in sky. Hovered around silently for about 8 minutes

I was outside alone at my camp taking pictures of the northern lights. Nobody else was around/outside. Suddenly a extremely bright light appeared in sky that hovered silently in the sky on the border of the tree line and beach for approx 8 minutes. I looked away at one point for a brief moment and returned in the direction of the light and it had disappeared suddenly without any noise. I was able to take a picture. In the picture the brightest light in the sky is the object that I saw which appeared suddenly and and then disappeared. It was clearly visible with my eyes. The last picture shows the same area with no light prior to it appearing.
