I was letting my dog out when I noticed a large bright object to the East of my house in the Sky near the horizon. I took notice as it was a bright circular object about the size of an SUV and seemed to be moving left and right by about a degree each way (North to South). I took my phone out to take a picture and the object instantly moved Westward (towards me) then instantly moved Eastward to its original position 20° to 90° back and forth. The object did this 3 times before stopping directly above me (20° to 90° back and forth with no sound). When the object stopped (above me) I could see the outline of a solid (near) circular object just inside the edges of the light. After a few seconds the object moved slightly to the south (about 2 Degrees) then went north (Very fast) and disappeared. When the object went north there was a heavy wind and the smell of static (same smell you get when printing or the smell when touch an electric device and release static) that lasted for 3 seconds. At this point my dog became scared, hide at the house door and was shacking heavily.

This has been happening 2-3 times a year for the last 10+ years around the same date but this was the biggest one I have seen. Normally they look like satellites moving in a strange way.
