Floating Light Vanishes Above Greenbrier, Chesapeake, VA

Me and my girlfriend were in the car driving home after some stargazing when all of the sudden she started saying something to me along the lines of, “That is not a star DUDE WHAT IS THAT!! Look there’s a light just sitting still in the sky!!!” I was the one driving, so I was trying to pay attention to the road but look at the same time. I did not see what she was talking about at first, and then all of the sudden I saw through the trees what she was talking about - a bright, brilliant white light just sitting still in the sky. It was about 3 miles away, just above the tree-line in the distance. I would say it was a mile high. As soon as I saw what she was talking about, I changed route to go to a parking lot close by to get a better view on the object. After seeing it, i drive for about 100 feet, when all of the sudden it had just vanished. It was clearly not a man made aircraft, clearly not a spotlight, and 100% not a celestial body.
