Good chance just this phenomenon. With multiple satellites glinting in one part of the sky, they can fade in and out of view giving the impression of one target dancing around.

Last night off the coast of NC a meteor lit up the whole flight deck and by the time I looked out the window at about 4 oclock it looked like a flair fizzling out. Seemed pretty close, but who knows… Only thing cooler that I’ve seen was SpaceX reentering around 3am off the coast of Alabama. Although it was right after Russia invaded Ukraine, so there was a few minutes I thought I was witnessing WWIII starting. All of these satellite/space junk sightings just after sunset towards the west and just before sunrise in the east are boring. But it sure gets guard frequency going…
