Light following/circles Aircraft

It was approx. 23:00 on a week night in the last 2 weeks of Aug 98. My wife and I were talking in bed. In the dark I was watching the blinking of an Aircraft wing lights cross the sky. We were in Scarbrough, our bedroom window faced North, the aircraft was eastbound. The night sky was clear.

I saw a light descend toward the aircraft at about a 120 degree angle then stopped directly above the flashing lights of the aircraft. I told my wife and we sat up to see better. The solid white light moved along with the aircraft for about a minute. During this time I was describing to my wife how the light came down. She was looking at the aircraft lights and the light I was talking about but not beleiving me. It then done a back loop to go behind the aircraft and endup directly underneath the aircraft. With that my wife became upset and begged me to stop watching and forget about the whole thing. I was able to observe the light tagging along with the aircraft for about another minute before my view was obscured by buildings.
