Unexplained object high in the sky, bright lights - to barely unnoticable - to disappearing within 8-10 mins.

I noticed a bright light in the eastern side of the sky, and I witnessed the object change back to a noticeable, but very hard to see object in the sky. After blinking my eyes several times, I followed the object and it appeared to go from one state of very bright light to a little difficult to see. After witnessing this approximately 3-4 times, I called my husband to look at the “UFO” with me, (I don’t mean little green Martians kind of UFO, but just an unidentified flying object.) I witness every single day the airplanes and helicopters flying overhead, but this was just a different thing to witness. It was so high up in the sky that I first thought it might be a balloon, but the light was something I have never witnessed before. My husband was intrigued enough to watch with me and then my sister-in-law and niece pulled up into our driveway and witnessed what we were seeing; Although, I know this can’t be a little green Martian thing, it was very intriguing and wanted to say that I don’t know what it was. It did not make a sound, the light reflection of the sun from the south of me might explain why it got so bright at times, but I think I would have noticed something in all of my 39-years of looking at the skies.

Another reflection I would like to share was that there was no dimension, not a noticeable tail, nose or wing of a plane and then it just disappeared.
