Shape: Star

A bright gold light (looked like a star but much brighter) moved across the sky unnaturally and then went out

I was walking from my dining hall to Russel Hall at USM to go to a theatre rehearsal. It was the tail end of dusk and I could see other stars in the sky and out of nowhere a bright gold light appeared in the sky, it looked like a star but it was very bright. It was too high to be a drone, and it moved too strangely to be a plane, satellite, or a shooting star. It moved straight across the sky about 30 feet and the way it moved was extremely unnatural, it was almost like it was on an invisible axis with no wind resistance. I wish I could articulate better how it moved but I've never seen anything like it in my life. And then without warning the light just went out and there was no evidence or trail that it had been in the sky at all. I looked around to see if anyone else had saw it- there were a few people walking out of the dining hall and someone going to their dorm but they were all looking at their phone or talking to each other and nobody else saw it. This is a very routine walk for me and I haven't done any drugs or anything out of the norm that would've made me seen it.
