In the late nineties I saw what I thought was a shooting star, until it stopped mid fall, hovered in place for a few seconds, then suddenly accelerated (extremely quickly) to the right, before stopping again and immediately heading back in the direction it was originally headed. The direction changes were instantaneous, unlike anything I had seen before or since. I did live on the outskirts of a military base known for advanced weapons research though, so who knows what I saw.
