Bright star like light moved surprisingly quickly in sky

8/13/20 - Husband and I were out in back yard watching meteor shower, when I noticed at about 11:20pm a somewhat bright star just sitting stationary in one spot. It looked like the other stars, a bright light, with a slight aura. Then it suddenly began to move down towards the horizon, moving faster and more easily than a plane or jet, not on an entirely straight path, wavering a bit as it did so. It did not leave any trails or make any sound. It then stopped, and began making little forays to the sides and up, then moved horizontally a ways north along the horizon, and stopped again. It then moved back south again a little way along the horizon, stopped, and started making little forays up, down, and to the sides, and that is when I came in to report it, at 11:35pm.
