Silver sphere with super bright lights on bottom, zigzagging and "teleporting" at impossible speed and angles for 20 minutes

The UFO was back last night.

I was going to bed at 1:00am. Our house has venetian blinds on all the windows, the ones where you twist the rod to tilt the fins open or closed. I have the window by my bed (facing South) partially open cuz I like to look at the stars while I fall asleep. And as I crawled into bed - yeah just getting into bed, not asleep yet - I saw it. Big metallic orb, estimate the size as roughly VW van sized, appeared to be maybe half mile up, half mile away from my house, with VERY BRIGHT white light emanating from the bottom third of it. Zipping around at crazy speed. Zigzagging at angles that make no sense, seemingly no reason to it, without any break in speed as it changes direction INSTANTALY. And it blipped invisible every now and then, only to pop into view further across the window immediately, as if it's just skipping over huge distances. I don't know if the light on the bottom is just a searchlight sort of thing, or maybe some kind of spectrographic scanner, or maybe part of its engine systems? But it's VERY BRIGHT. Like when you're driving at night and that one truck with 97 headlights between the bumper and the roll bar turns on its hi-beams and its fog-lights as it drives towards you. The spherical shape was pretty well defined, in the glow of that light, even from that distance away.

I watched it zip around for about 20 minutes until I fell asleep. The whole time, it never left the area framed by my window. Almost like it KNEW I was watching and wanted to show off?? I was indoors this time, viewing it through a window, but if it's like the last time then if I had been outside I would have noticed it was moving soundlessly, too. Can't confirm that this time since I was indoors though. It was just too cold to go outside and check, and I was in bed already so I didn't want to get up anyway.

Anyone else been seeing these things lately?

About me: I am 41 years old, usually I work as an environmental scientist with a background in chemistry and hydrology. but I've been on disability for 2 years due to an autoimmune disease that resulted in some pretty serious limitations to my range of motion. Been getting the RIGHT medication recently though, just started looking for work and hoping to adjust my career a bit so I can manage my health while still making a living. I am sane and not prone to exaggeration on stuff like this.
