Observed a very bright and sparkling "star" in the eastern morning sky of 9/15/16, moving sporadically.

On the morning of 9/15/16, at approximately 4:00 a.m., I looked to the eastern sky and saw what I thought was the “morning star” which I’ve seen before. However, this “star” was moving in a sporadic fashion. I thought it might be a plane or helicopter but it wasn’t. The “star’s” movement reminded me of a balloon floating in the air. First it moved slightly to the right, then slightly lowered, then back to the original position and then maybe slightly upward then back to original position. This pattern of movement was repeated as long as I viewed the “star”. I must have watched this “phenomenon” for at least 5 minutes if not more. The “star” shined very brightly in the sky. Very mysterious.
