Large blue dot of light hovers over The Verrazzano Bridge, zooms upwards and disappears.

I was on the Staten Island Boardwalk at about 11:00 PM on the night of August 24.

I was looking at the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge which connects Staten Island to Brooklyn, when I seen a large light blue dot hovering over the bridge for about 1-2 seconds. Then, it looked like it "zoomed" upwards (the large dot decreased in size quickly while sweeping over the sky in a curve) and disappeared completely.

I watched the bridge for another hour to see if I would see it again, but nothing happened. I was with a group of people at that time, but they all had their backs to the bridge and didn't seen anything. I wear glasses but I know what I seen was not glare, or any other lights reflecting on my glasses.
