semi circular motions almost in the shape of a W, extremely bright, abruptly lights turned off/on mid air in 2 minutes, odd behavior

laying on my couch at 5am, can see through glass patio door from couch, noticed extremely bright almost star like object above the tree line. walked to patio door and noticed object was not only moving in a “W” format but also was brighter and lower than all stars. Mentally compared it to common aircraft flight patterns and couldn’t recognize its flight pattern. continued watching while on the phone with a friend describing what happened and writing it down as i saw it. stayed in the same general area in the sky, assumed it was a drone but was too large and bright. Noticed a plane fly by at around 5:03 , whilst plane was in the sky (near object), it (the object) stopped moving. planes had the normal flashing red abs white lights and linear flight pattern, compared the two when they were both visible and there was just just too many differences to believe this wasn’t a UFO. UFO also emitted “sparkles ”, twinkling dots around it while moving, almost like twinkling firework sticks. by 5:05 when the plane was no longer and sight it continued to move and stopped again. After two minutes completely stopped shining and was no longer visible at 5:07. Began shining again at 5:09, but know behind the tree line and was so bright i could see it through the tree line even though it was night. stopped shining again at 5:10. Ufo was bright, circular, and iridescent. almost like a star
