white star shaped dot moving back and forth

I witnessed a small white dot-- star or satellite sized-- in the vicinity of the Pleaides constellation early morning October 21, 2022. The object was moving back and forth and sometimes in a circle with an erratic movement. I was watching the Orionid meteor shower, lying on my back on the roof of our condo and witnessed this object for about 30 minutes. The object stayed in the same general vicinity and was still visible when I went back inside my condo. I started to video the object but there was no context for the video and the video would have just been a light moving erratically. There seemed to possibly be other faint light or lights associated and there may have been a dark area around the brighter light but this wasn't definitive. I would estimate this object was at a very high altitude or outside the atmosphere.
