UFO over Charlotte-Douglas Airport Sunday 5/5/19.

I live about 15 minutes from Charlotte Douglas Airport. I’ve been observing airplanes land from my front porch for several years. I know what the normal speed of an airplane is. Very early Sunday, my girlfriend & I were sitting on the front porch. I had ben watching planes over the horizon, coming in steadily one after another. A bright light appeared in the same approach pattern as the airplanes. Its light was much more brilliant than any of the airplanes I have seen. It took the same approach line, but moving at a pace I would think near Mach I. I’m not 100% sure that the lights were blinking because there was some low cloud cover, but only in random spots in the sky. I really believe the light was blinking in what seemed to be a random order. It followed what appeared to be the exact same landing pattern the airplanes take, then it made an IMMEDIATE turn up at an approximate 60* angle and disappeared immediately afterwords.
