White orb changing altitude and direction before repeatedly disappearing and reappearing

Was out walking my dog with my partner and saw a large orb of white light moving to the right (east). It then changed directions by moving forward and then to the left (west). Orb gained altitude (very high), hovered, and then dropped somewhat quickly, turning brighter as it dropped. Then, it disappeared very suddenly, at about the altitude it was at the start of the sighting. It reappeared about a minute later heading east, then disappeared again. There was no sound.
