What did the UFO look like, shape/size in relation to terrestrial objects/lights/colour: Single bright white light flashing at about 5 second intervals. It wasn’t a plane or a Satellite.

We saw both of these on the same night and were able to note that the brightness of the UFO was about 100 times greater than either of these

Did the UFO do any strange things like hover and then zoom off quickly: It was moving slowly then just disappeared.

Any additional comments: I would like my sighting explained if possible. There was a misty cloud cover at the time. But it was very light as we could see the stars though it.

It was very still so I know the flashing was not caused by clouds moving across the object. The Object was a little hazy indicating that it was above the cloud cover.

There was what I am pretty sure was a miltary plane flying in the area at the time. A few minutes after we saw the object the plane past through the same spot in the sky (as if investigating)
