I see, I had made an error in how I worded my question on google and got a different answer. That's my fault.

I was saying I don't think it's a star because (as uneducated as I am on this subject) I look at the stars a lot. I usually don't see something so bright in the sky. Usually Sirius is the brightest but this wasn't in the same direction as Sirius. So I was wondering what could be so bright. It's not like a star could just appear in a day.

It was quite above the horizon. I was parked maybe 50 feet away from the house and the object was way above the house from my point of view and within an hour sunk completely behind the house and horizon. I'm not really sure how to explain it better than that, I can only use comparative measurements.

It didn't seem like any of the other ones were also moving beyond the horizon. This one was brighter than anything else in the sky and didn't seem like it was part of any constellation. I'm not an expert I just genuinely am not trying to mark it off as something it isn't. A lot of these answers do provide partial explanations but all of the circumstances together always provides a gap in the suggestions mentioned.

Wouldn't a star appear fixed and not moving? It definitely looks like what I was seeing, except for the movement. I was pretty sure no matter what, stars are so far away that they don't move past the horizon of our view. I might be wrong. The app another user suggested I download showed Sirius in the south east but the object I saw was very clearly south west.

To be honest I'm leaning way more towards jupiter than aircraft.

I don't think this is necessarily true. I can post photos I took of the moon vs this object. I can literally see the craters on the moon but I can't make out a single detail on this object other than light. It was also more twinkling colors rather than a proper blinking at intervals. I tried to get a photo of when it appeared red but I got two that are green and one white photo. I really really doubt it's a plane. I know what they look like. It also wouldn't sit an hour in my vision, moving as slowly as it did without changing size or light intensity.

Very cool. The brain doesn't waste any opportunity to trick you lol. This is exactly what I saw, in clockwise circles too.

Usually I can see the details of an airplane, like the shape and what not. I don't live far from an airport so generally I can hear and see them pretty well. I used my phone to zoom in 30x which usually let's me see even windows on a plane. This was still just an orb of light at max zoom.

I thought maybe a drone too, but it was flying for over an hour and was really far but still very bright. It seemed a little unlikely although it's not impossible. It really seemed to be in space and not in earth's atmosphere. Sirius is a bit too far east to be what I saw.

Wow that's a really cool app. Thank you for that. It does appear to be jupiter from a very general quick look. I didn't know that it can flash different colors.
