Clear view very high altitude erratic light traveled in circular & short/long bursts, many stops/pauses

I live in a remote area of Southern Ca. with clear view of Milky way. 3500ft, 15 miles to nearest town, 30 minute walk to mail box. I can see Mt. Palomar Observatory S/E 140 degrees on compass, from my 80 acre property. I always check sky for meteors that I see somewhat regular. First time I saw anything unusual.

At an elevation far above air traffic, I saw light-dot traveling in circular area appx. size 6 inches diameter. It would go in a circle, stop, pause, then straight line, stop, pause, turn, straight, pause, circular, stop, pause, sometimes straight in short and long bursts, then back to circular. Always staying in same area. I went inside for your contact info and when I returned outside appx. 8:30pm left-coast time, gone
