What is that?

Sitting in our balcony, I lifted my head up from my book and noticed this thing approaching towards us. I am facing south – so it would appear it is coming from Atlanta airport. And it was roughly around the same height where I would expect a small plane. But this cannot be a plane. It has three white lights. A plane will have a red light on left wing and green light on right wing. So, what is it?

Does anybody know if drones are required to follow the same protocol of light placements? It eventually turned around – but I could not see it banking since it got behind the tree and went away.

It is about 8:40PM on Sunday – I would say somewhere over Sandy Springs if anybody else saw it.
