I saw what I initially thought to be a star from a plane, literally drop really fast under the horizon and then slowly rise back up.

We were flying above turkey and at around 5am, while a few stars were still visible, I saw a bright dot (I thought it was a star at first) drop straight down, very quickly below the horizon, so that I couldn’t see it anymore from the plane window, because it was “behind the earth” by then. Then a couple seconds later, it started rising again and it slowly ascended back to where it originally was. I tried to wake up my boyfriend to watch too, but he was sleeping sound. I took a video of it once it was back where it started, but it all happened too fast for me to take a video of the whole event, so I unfortunately don’t have video of it falling and rising back up. It was not the plane turning, it was not another plane, and it wasn’t a light reflecting. This was something I have never in my life seen before and I’ve flown a LOT. This was not anything human operated (as far as I know we don’t have technology capable of something like this). I fully believe this was not only a UFO, but actually an extraterrestrial alien object
