I saw a big ball of light in the sky years ago. It would drift, hover, zigzag, move in all very strange ways. I researched it for years and couldn’t find an explanation for it.
I had a friend who grew up in Oklahoma during the 70s. He taught me how to make crop circles and UFOs to freek people out. It isn’t hard actually.
One classic UFO technique is to take a large white (can be black, but white works better) garbage bags and attach it to a simple square frame made out of something lightweight like a coat hanger or balsam wood. It has to have an X crossing the middle where you place a candle. Fill the bag with a hair dryer (or just wait for the candle to do it) and the lift will take it up like a hot air balloon. It will get tossed around in the wind in erratic patterns and since it is largely unrecognizable most people will have a hard time approximating size and distance. As a result, it will look like a large moving in impossible ways looks like it is farther away, and that makes it look like it is moving faster than possible, and changing directions in ways that a helicopter or airplane would not be able to do). Instant aliens.
I had one similar in Florida once years ago … 25 years ago now I think … and this was in Fort Lauderdale.
I was lying in bed in a cheap motel staring up at a sky light and I could see a few stars but not many because of the light pollution. I saw a satellite or a plane in the sky and I started to follow it. Moving from west to east. I didn’t think much of it, I’ve seen lights like it many times in Northern Ontario.
Right directly overhead, in made a right angle turn north … then a right angle turn back east and continued on its way. It never stopped or slowed down, just turn, turn and kept going.
I couldn’t believe it and thought maybe it was a bug on the glass? A helicopter? A speck of dust? It was weird because it followed a steady path across the sky first did a weird right angle turn twice and moved on.
I told my wife who was with me and she didn’t think anything of it and said I probably just imagined it. Maybe I did? But I’m very certain of what I saw because I was so shocked by it. I wasn’t drinking, no drugs (legal or illegal) and I haven’t had anything like it happen to me before or since.
Yeah mine had right angle moves too. It would drift diagonally, a bit wobbly, then a 90° turn, then float upwards, down, diagonal, all over the place. It was a solid ball of light, like a meteor, except it was bright whte/silver. Fuzzy around the edges. Then it dipped beneath the horizon and that was the end of it.

Ball lightning maybe?
I immediately thought of Slay the Spire’s Defect character.
What I saw could fit that description, but the description is very vague. So I’m not totally convinced, but not totally dismissive either.
