Have you experienced anything creepy at 3 am???

My window does not have a curtain and i can see full view, there's a plane that keeps going back and forth,
I'm following with my eyes it stops exactly in the same spot and keeps going back and forth for 14 mins
What's the explanation?

At night it's really hard to determine if plane is flying around in circles around a landing field in a holding pattern.

What you might be seeing is that plane doing just that. The distance from you it's really hard to tell. Especially at night.

Yet it's only waiting to be given clearance to land.

At either extreme it would appear to stop just for a moment.

Visualize a circle that appears to be seen flat on like a line. It would appear to stop just for a moment at either end of the line. In truth it's turning.
