Blueish light traveling within or above a cloud layer.

Blueish light traveling within or above a cloud layer. I was on my computer in front of a large window and it appeared within my view. A small area of the clouds glowed as if a large light was passing through it. Only saw it for 5 seconds but it was a very smooth movement. Can't offer much more detail because the view was obsructed by trees and the porch. The light was very bright, more than that of the moon through the clouds. My first thought is that is was an airplane with landing lights passing through the clouds, but it was a crisp light-blue color... and there was no sounds since it seemed very near, maybe 200 feet away. It couldn't have been a meteor because it was very much within the clouds traveling smoothly and slowly. I was not able to see it anymore after i got up and looked out the door.
