Bright white light, no noise, lower in sky over neighborhood. Changes direction, stops & winks out.

My fiancée and I were out on a walk through our quiet residential neighborhood in Goleta last night when we observed a single, very bright light hovering over the neighborhood. There was absolutely zero sound. The light had what appeared to be a halo of light extending out from it visibly. It appeared to be much lower in the sky than a plan, but higher than a drone. It was a very quiet night and we could hear nothing but normal nature sounds in the background. I have a video that my fiancée took from our phone and will try to post. The scariest thing about this light was that it definitively STOPPED, moved again and changed direction as we walked. It kind of seemed to mirror when we stopped and changed direction. The it was just suddenly gone….don’t know if it turned lights off or sped off. There have been people posting about seeing this same thing in our local neighborhood online neighborhood watch site. I’ve read at least 5-6 comments as of today on it! Site: https://next door.com. (Zip 93111). On video the white light appears to cycle into a few colors, although we couldn’t see that with the naked eye.
