two fast moving star-like objects that turned.

I am an amateur astronomer who spends a fair amount of time watching the sky. I was sitting my driveway about 4:30 a.m. local time,listening to radio, when I noticed a bluish colored starlike object moving rapidly from south to north. I assumed it was a satellite, until it began to make a swing towards the northeast. By the time I returned with 8 x 50 binoculars, it was gone. Roughly one minute later, a second, similar object appeared on the same trajectory. Through binoculars, it looked like a satellite or star. No aircraft lights were evident. The second object also turned slowly toward the northeast, dimming slightly as it did do. Initial brightness of both objects was approx. zero to first magnitude. The impression was of very fast moving objects at great altitude. Total time span was approx. 4:31 to 4:34 a.m. Ojects seemed to dim and flicker slightly as they turned.
