colored flashing light stationary then bouncing in an arc shape

My brother and his girlfriend and I were parked along Route 22o watching the meteor shower after midnight. As we began sitting up our chairs in the dark I thought I saw a spotlight flash across the mountain behind us. We were in a large valley. I chalked it up to my eyes playing tricks on me. We sat and watched the star show for about an hour when something made me look at the horizon just above the mountain we were facing. I instantly noticed a bright, bright star that held my attention because it was so big and appeared to be pulsating different colors. It was above the tree line and I drew my companions attention to it because I wanted their opinions of what it was. As we stared at it and agreed it was a plane it began to bounce in a graceful arc above the trees. It moved in a way that we had never seen from an air craft. We got a little loud with fear and excitement. It seemed to react to our reaction and after the arc shaped bouning for a few seconds it! lowered itself behind the tree line and we could only see it slightly through the summer tree canopy. Needless to say, I watched the spot it dissappeared to all night ignoring the stars and never saw it rise above the tree line again. Was it alien or human aircraft. Perhaps a helicopter but no noise was heard(maybe too far away)and the graceful arc bounce was so unordinary we huddled together out of fear. I'd love to know what we saw.
