Watched what I thought was a star or planet move very oddly and then move to 2 different locations I directed it to with my mind.

Over the course of several weeks prior to my sighting I saw what I thought was a star or planet about 35 degrees above the horizon and bounded by a "U" shaped section of the treeline I was looking out over beyond my cabin. I am up and down a lot at night due to some chronic physical conditions I deal with. I always stop and look out at the night sky every night. Then about a week before this sighting I noticed a planet or star seem to move a bit from side to side and I assumed it was just an atmospheric effect and went back to bed. I saw it off and on in the same position. Then it occurred to me that I should not be seeing it in the same position at diff times of the night/early morning...due to the natural procession of the cosmic objects. I only came to this conclusion after I thought more about it after my July 13th sighting. On the early morning of the 13th around 3:25 AM, CST, I noticed it move again, but much more than previously. This object was about half the size of Venus and about 2/3 its magnitude. So very clearly visible. It light color was mostly white with a very slight blue cast. It first moved moved a lot more to the right and then back left of its original position, holding the new positions for about 5 seconds each, then it moved back to center original position and up and held this position for about 5 seconds then it moved even higher and as it stopped in this position a smaller iridescent red sphere appeared out of nowhere directly to the right of the main object. Both then moved higher and to the right, then back to center and then down. The smaller red object then disappeared and the main object moved back up even higher and then fell back down in a leaf like motion as a leaf falls to the ground from a tree. Next it moved back up even higher and stopped there and then slowly moved lower in an "S" shaped gradual curve. Next from this bottom location, it moved straight back up and moved to the right, then down, then to the left, then up, then to the right again...making a perfect square with this pattern of movement. It sat motionless for about a minute. I was thinking that the movements were far to great and odd to be atmospheric distortions. So, I thought I would try to communicate with it on a lark. I thought and told it to move up higher and stop. I was shocked when it did just that immediately. I waited 30 seconds or so and then asked it to move down to its original position. Again, it did so instantly and stopped there and never moved again. I thought it may just have been coincidence and laughed to myself. I told myself I would check it again next I was up, but slept until after sunrise. I then decided to check it the next night when I was up. I was up 3 different times over a 6 hour period and it was never there! The area where I had always seen it was bounded on 3 sides by a "U" shaped gap in the top of the treeline (each side and bottom, with top of treeline open to the sky). This allowed me to always gauge how much it moved each time and gave its usual position in the night sky. I looked for it every night at many different times, but is has never reappeared. There is nothing in that little area of the sky now. I am a ufologist with over 45 years of serious experience and 11 other sightings of my own, so I am not easily fooled. I checked the processional star maps to see if there ever is any object visible in that sector of the sky and there is nothing there that I would be able to see with the naked eye. I is gone.
