Blue-white light with lights attached or following made complete u-turn at slow steady speed.
At approximately 18:50hrs this evening, I was walking my dogs and going in an easterly direction. In the SouthEast, I looked up at the moon. The moon was to the right of the object, about two "hands" away. I saw what at first appeared to be a satellite moving toward the south. It moved for a few seconds, and then I could make out something directly behind it that was dimmer and seemed to be attached to it. I am an amatuer astronomer, and have spent many nights watching satellites passing by. What piqued my curiosity was that this object made a complete turn, and after a few seconds made a u-turn in the opposite direction. The more I watched it, I was able to make out some detail, even though it was a small white-blue point of light with something attached to its rear. For a second it seemed that there were four or five much smaller white lights surrounding it as well. Then I lost sight of it because there was a few whisps of clouds that eventually obscured it. Time interval was roughly one minute.
