Summary : I was watching TV in my brothers room when something in his window caught my eye. At first it looked like a balloon in the far off distance, but then it just stopped and hovered. I went downstairs to go outside and see it better. I grabbed the binoculars and told my mom to come check it out. It started to move again to the west, (coming from the north) in a straight line. It then began to bob and weave in a way that no flying object I've ever seen or heard of. Through the binoculars it appeared to be very bright with a hint of a metallic, silver-type shade to it. After about five minutes, we lost behind the clouds
