Oval shaped object sighted on Appalacian Trail

I was walking on the Appaliacian Trail with my dog around 5pm and my dog started to bark. I noticed an extremely bright light where my dog was barking. I ran towards my dog which was about 50 yards away and I noticed an oval moving higher and higher into the sky. By the time caught up to my dog the oval shapped object was hovering around 100 feet about us. It was moving back and forth for a few minutes then zipped out of sight. I have never seen anything like this in my life.
