Large bright stationary object - then disappeared.

My wife and I were resting on a deck overlooking Mobile Bay facing SW to W. I saw a bright light in the cloudless sky about 90 degrees off horizon.
Looked like large bright aircraft - but did not move and was stationary for long time. I then took a few photos and zoomed in on the very bright object. I then took a short 11-second video and object disappeared. My wife also saw this object. We were totally perplexed trying to figure out the object was so high in the sky, so bright and then fast disappearing.
I am a former military pilot. I had not consumed any alcohol.
When the photo is zoomed in on, it has hard angles shapes, and blinked. It disappeared very fast. I’ve never seen such an object.
