Two bright lights still in sky then accelerate in opposite directions

I just walked outside in the backyard to take the dog out and saw two bright lights in the sky. At first I thought it was most likely planes, I looked again though and they were just stationary in the sky. I have good vision and even using a tree in my yard as a fixed point could not find any movement from the objects. It seemed odd to me that they were so bright at such the distance they were at. Almost like big flares in the sky but they kept dimming and then getting really bright but never faded. I then took out my phone to get a quick video of the lights. Right after I put my phone away the light on the right started to move east, but didnt accelerate slowly it justs started moving at high speed instantly, I would say around 2-3 times faster than any commercial plane in the area at the time I could see. Once that light was out of view the one on the left started moving to the west the same way, accelerating to a wanted top speed instantly and then just c! ruising along at that speed until out of view. I stared at the lights in the sky for almost a minute before it took them roughly 10 seconds to both leave my view.
