Wade, NC

This is the 3rd time I have witnessed this strange light over the treeline outside of my house in the past 2 weeks. It always comes to the same area as the last time, it usually stays for about 2 hours on average and I'm watching it right now. It darts around in the air, stopping and changing direction mid path, it will travel a little to the left then stop and take off to the right. Sometimes it goes very fast other times it just moves up and down or in a serpentine motion up to the left/right or down to the left/right then stop and do it again. It's far away so it's small and difficult to make out or get a good look but it's a small light that changes colors and even gets brighter, I notice mostly red,white and bluish colors but it changes fast. It darts around in these motions for around 2 hours gradually getting higher but staying in the same area. The first time I saw it I had about 5 friends come look just so they could see it and maybe help me figure ! out what exactly it was but what starts so many different directions then stops and goes in a completely different direction in mid air. I never hear any sounds and it's like the lights are moving or flickering, it's not a solid color or light that stays on or blinks like an airplane other helicopter and it sure doesn't travel like one either. It's too small and far away for me to get a video or photo with my phone because I have tried multiple times. As I said, this is the 3rd time I have sat and watched this thing dance around in the sky like a bug does around a light gradually getting higher and higher. I've never watched it long enough to see how it ends or where it goes so I couldn't tell you. I just looked up and saw it dart downward very fast then stop, go the left, dart back up, circle to the right and loop back downward. It never goes to the ground just dances around in the same area in these odd start and stop motions. Any information or professional help on this matter would be great and I'm sorry if this is poorly written, but I really don't know how to describe this occurrence, you would have to see it on your own. It's always in the area over by where Dunn would be, off in that general direction and stays for a long time. Thank you
