Light object makes perfect square moving in the night Kansas sky.

I Guessing now that this sighting was sometime in the summer of 73'. I had just taken out my mums dogs for a last walk for the night. I got as far as the driveway when I typically looked up. It was a beautiful night and the sky was clear, no moon, no wind. the amount of sky i was looking at varied considerably because of trees, powerlines other houses to include my own. as I started to walk a blink of light caught my eye out of the west. I didn't think much of it at first because it was quite a distance in altitude. But then I saw what appeared to be the same blinking light again only this time it was in a different place in sky. When I say blinking the light would momentarily go out and it would reappear in another part of the sky. So if you can imagine I was piviting from right to left watching this light make a perfect square in the sky. So at every corner point it would reappear at the next corner. Finally upon completing a perfect square it shot off to the north at incredible speed to the point it left a shimmering trail that did not last long. The amount of sky that this light covered was to say the least amazing. The speed in which it completed the square no past nor present aircraft could make those kind of manuevers. I was 13 at the time. I have since completed 20 years in the Air Force and I can tell I know as I did then as I do know now the dynamics of aircraft. This was no terrestrial aircraft. I believe while watching this light I was encountering an intelligence. This part in unexplainable on my part, but I just felt as if the movements of this light had a purpose.
