White, star-like object at dusk over Cary

I was driving home from work around 9pm, and the sky had just begun to darken.

As I crested the hill coming home on Davis drive, I saw what I thought was a distant plane above the tree line. I watched it move from left to right, and I noticed when it stopped.

From the pause, it began to move up and down and then left and right some more, before falling slowly behind the trees. I drove up to a hill to get a better view, but I lost sight of it.

As I was driving away, the object rose above the trees again, and I could see it in my rearview mirror.

The object looked like a small, distant star. It was white in colour, with no distinguishing marks. The object seemed to be playing peek-a-boo with me, and I felt that it could see me just as clearly as I could see it.
