Super-Intense, Extremely Bright White Light(s). (Silent, Slow moving, High-Altitude Aircraft: flashing Red/Green Marker Lights).

Aircraft (to the South-West) at High Altitude, in Southern Sky, slowly moving Northbound. Silent --No Sound/Noise. Extreme, Very Bright, High-Intensity White light(s). Extreme Bright Lights, Way out of the Ordinary. (Many times brighter than Moon, Planets, Star, or any ordinary Commercial Aircraft). Multiple lights formed a short vertical line (length or aircraft?) for 30 min. or more. I have never seen anything so incredibly Intense, like it before (especially from so great a distance/altitude). Aircraft changed direction/Altitude? causing White line of Lights to merge into a single bright Spot (approx. 5 min). Then Aircraft turned to the South (180 degrees), causing bright White light to disappear. Bright white light was replaced with Flashing Red/Green Marker lights of an Aircraft. Aircraft went south for 10 min. then turned 180 Degrees and headed North again. Bright white Spot light re-appeared again, but not as intense (approx. 10 min.). Then, Turned South Again, showing Red/Green Marker Lights. Aircraft continued Traveling further South, disappearing into Southern Sky.
