Solid white light object zig-zagging from west to east near Ozark,Mo

While outside at 21:34 central time in rural Ozark, Mo, I noticed 3 air craft flying at I assume normal cruising altitude. The air craft seemed to be flying west to southwest direction. While observing the aircraft I noticed a solid white light (about the size of a star) heading from west to east. I thought maybe it may be the ISS so I went into my house and grabbed my binoculars.

I went back outside and got the object into view with my binoculars. It still looked like a star as it was moving.

Then suddenly it stopped and went beck to the west for about 2 seconds. Then it started to go east once again for a second or two. It then stopped and went back to the west once again. It did this four times before it suddenly accelerated very fast toward east. It was out of my sight in a matter of about 8 seconds.

Note: Each time it stopped to go in the opposite direction it was with out hesitation.
