single white light moving from northwest to southeast, very quiet, sped up slowed down, boxy like travel

I was coming from my neighbors house, it was dark, some clouds, ans a sliver of the moon. I crossed my drive with my house to my left and the bark to the right, looking at my pasture. The porch lights (front and back) was on as well as lights on buildings across the pasture next to the field I was looking at. on the other side of the field, 1/2 is a corn farm, and the other 1/2 is tree lined. There is a small airport about 1.5 miles in the direction I was facing. I looked up at the sky (facing southeast)when I saw this single white light passing over my house moving from northwest to southeast. At first I thought it was a helicopter or a small plane, until I noticed it had no other lights (red, green or blue)on it, no outlined shape, plus it would speed up, slow down and waver (but not in a smooth curve , but more boxy and erratic)and very quiet. The light was about 100 ft up (twice as high as my house and treeline). The light was bright when I looked at it pass, but stayed bright pass the treeline but there was no light shining on the ground or trees. It was heading towards the airport, but not the normal direction of the planes taking off or landing. It went about 20 yards above the treeline then it went dim about halfway for a few seconds and disappeared. There was a aircraft with red and white light flying in the distant about 3-5 miles about 10o'clock from the direction I was looking. The only other thing was, about 10-15 minutes later a large sounding aircraft was flying in the area, shaking the house but I could not locate it in the sky.
