Witnessed this and also took a video.

My father and I were in our backyard last night having cigars, and I noticed a light that was in the sky, low, and in sight over the house behind mine (not directly above said house) likely 5 miles from our location. I wrote it off as just a bright star, but when I ended up turning my head that direction again, it was moving side to side very quickly but in kind of a smooth fashion. It began moving in my direction and eventually I noticed it was the shape of a crescent moon, extremely bright, however it was moving with the two points facing forward. (Like if a B2 Spirit was moving in reverse.) it began to get higher and higher and faster and then disappeared. The video I recorded is about 10 seconds after it stopped moving side to side, and began moving my direction.
Now, you I used the Apple photo gallery editor feature to brighten the video up, in order to use other stars as a reference of speed. The craft to me looked like it was most likely 10,000+ feet in altitude, although I’ve only flown in Cessna aircraft and have no idea how big this thing may be.
