Location: Latrobe, PA, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Driving home with my wife when we both saw a white circle appear moving quickly across the sky in front of us. It was definitely high in the atmosphere. Same color/shape as a satellite, but very large compared to any I have seen before, including the ISS. It was too slow to be a shooting star but too fast to be a satellite. Object then stopped abruptly and "hovered" in place for roughly 5-7 seconds before blinking then rapidly accelerating away. About 3 seconds after it disappeared an aircraft flew the same exact route as the light as if it was following it.
