I watched it for about 5 minutes more before the chill got the better of my curiosity and I went back indoors , I popped back out after about ten minutes and the light was gone.

The point of this post is ...
1 , To show that even I can get excited about a light in the sky.
2 . Perceived odd movements of a lit object against a dark background can be an optical illusion.
3 . I saw a UFO.

Is it possible that the perceived motion was a case of the "Autokinetic Effect", or did you attempt at the time to go through procedures to verify that it wasn't?
What I usually try to do in order to "stave off" the auntokinetic effect is to blink, momentarily avert my gaze elsewhere, and (most importantly) try to find a point of reference that is close to my eyes that I could compare the object against -- say the edge of wall or a roof eave. The reference object can't be too far from your eyes, or else the reference object, too, can appear to wobble with the autokinetic effect.
I take it you're going with optical illusion. Amiright?

He didn't seem to have any trouble keeping it centered in frame, so I doubt it was truly jerking around
