Glowing saucer-shaped light hovering, then lowering.

I was outside on my back porch just after dusk when I noticed a bright white light in the southwestern sky. It was fairly low in the sky about 25 degrees above the horizon and about the size of my pinkie fingernail at arms length. The light was glowing in a saucer-shape, motionless for about 10 minutes before 2 commercial planes were in its vicinity and it seemed to get smaller until they left the area. Then it returned to its previous size and gradually began to get lower in the sky until it was below the treeline near me and I could not see it anymore. This is now my third sighting in all, and all seem to be in the same part of the sky(near Tampa Bay/Gulf of Mexico).
