While driving I noticed a strange object in the sky, when I pulled over to get a better look it seemed to shift and then disappeared.

While driving I noticed a strange object in the sky, like two dark vertical lines that seemed to have nothing between them at first glance but then I noticed kind of a shimmery iridescent quality to the empty space. I couldn’t make sense of what it was - first I thought it was like a strange flock of geese in two parallel lines rather than a V, but then once I noticed the iridescence I thought it was maybe a balloon, but I had an extremely difficult time getting a sense of scale. I pulled my car over because I wanted to take a picture to send to a friend I was on the phone with but trees were obscuring my view. As I pulled forward more and I saw it between the trees again the shape had changed, it was much smaller and I think the lines were shorter? It was just much less defined than it had been a second or two earlier. Just seconds later when the trees were out of the way it was completely gone. I drove in a couple circles trying to see from different angles but there was nothing.
