Octagon shaped craft made a 90 degree turn

Saturday, Sept. 19th 11:08 PM I like to sit on the patio at night and look for satellites. I was sitting on our patio outside relaxing after just having a house full of company leave.

I saw what I thought at first was a satellite because it was moving about the same speed they usually move. But the I noticed it wasn’t moving in a straight line, it was moving in an elongated wavy pattern. As I looked closer I could see an Octagon shape behind the light. I watched it for about 5 seconds when it took a 90 degree turn to the right and headed south at the same speed.

There was no noise whatsoever. I’m not a good one for guessing altitude but I would say it looked about the size of a quarter in the sky. It was maybe 8-10 thousand feet up.
