Bright ball of light off the honokaa/hamakua coast, Hawaii.

I woke up to use the bathroom and noticed a bright light out the window. I woke my partner and she asked if it was a plane or a boat, but a boat would be more on the horizon and we could see the horizon thanks to the moon.

I went to the big bay window to look more. A very bright ball of light that appears to be hovering. I watched it for about 45 minutes. During that time I've seen it dip up and down, and sway back and forth.

I even sat down and used my neighbors house as a level of sight.

Not too long ago about 4:30 I noticed two aircrafts fly towards the ball of light at high speed, circle it once, and then jet off back towards the pohakuloa training area.

And before anyone says it's a star, I've already identified where the star Rigel is, and that's definetly not it.
