Bright, twinkling light zig zagging over Pittsburgh

I saw a bright, twinkling light out of my bedroom window, which looked like a bright star, but too bright for an overcast night, so I went to the window to watch it, and after a few minutes, it began to move side to side, then up and down. It also appeared to have a blue halo, but that could've been due to the weather conditions. The movement looked like a drone, but I watched it for 40 minutes, and it first moved a distance away and kind of repeated the back and forth motion, then went further away until I could no longer see it, but it was ascending, not descending, so I don't think it could be a drone. As it moved away, it also appeared that the light was rotating because I would think it was too far away to see, then I would see a glimmer of light every few seconds.
