Light seen moving quickly south to north, then back south along same path, then changed to moving WNW

Summary

A single witness reports an orb of light executing a high-speed, precise back-and-forth trajectory before abruptly changing direction, a maneuver pattern not typical of conventional aircraft or known astronomical objects.

Credibility Reasoning

Single witness with no corroboration, missing critical data (duration, altitude, weather), and a vague narrative lacking detail. However, the report is structured and describes a specific, non-trivial flight pattern that seems unlikely to be fabricated without purpose.
