Hovering light object underneath Orion's Belt.

Was looking at Orion's Belt and noticed a "star" beneath it with flickering lights. We thought it was a plane at first. But then we noticed an actual plane flying above it and noticed the "star" was just hovering.

As we were watching it slowly started moving in a zig zag formation as it lowered itself closer to Earth. A few more minutes go by and we notice the object begins to move side to side as it starts to go up a little higher.

A few more minutes go by and we see it rising higher and higher in a side to side way.

After about 7 minutes we had to finally leave.
