Traveling orb plus a ‘star’

I was sitting on my front porch which faces south. Several strong thunderstorms had already rolled through the area, the sky was heavily clouded and all was quiet. I was looking above the line of trees which are on a hill about 100’ in front of the porch. Suddenly I saw what looked like a large bright star and in front of and to the side of the ‘star’ was a blueish/white orb in front of the clouds. From my perspective, it was about 1/4 inch in size…larger than the ‘star’. The ‘star’ blinked out and the orb began moving southeast into the clouds in the direction of Long Island Sound. It was hard to judge the distance to the orb…possibly 1/4 mile. There was no sound of a small light plane or any other other aircraft…only quiet.
