A clear night without any clouds, laying down in the front yard with my daughter gazing at the stars. House/patio lights were off. Saw a shooting star, then 5 mins later as I was looking at the big dipper. I noticed a light moving in my peripheral vision. I looked at it. It had no blinking lights like an aircraft, it was a . white light like a star. Appeared to by high altitude, moving at a high speed and an erratic zig zag pattern as it was traveling. Called my wife and other daughter out. All 4 of us watched it continue to move in this fast zig zag pattern, then it disappeared. I've lived on and near air force bases all my life.... this was moving too fast and too erratic to be an aircraft that I've ever seen.
