Very Bright Red Single Star-Like UFO, No Wings, No Body, No Sound, No Contrail, Flies in Curves, Then Leaves

Clear weather, no moon, no clouds, pitch black mountain sky. Looking in the direction of the Big Dipper, I saw a bright orange single light, about as bright as Jupiter or the brightest stars, just come into being out of nowhere. There was no sound, no smoke trail, nothing to suggest this was an aircraft of known type. This thing appeared to be really high, like tens of thousands of feet high, and really bright orange-red. It moved slowly, much too slowly for a meteor, in kind of a wavy "s-shaped" pattern. It made a soft curve and flew right through the bowl of the big dipper, then started to fade in intensity slowly over about 3 to 5 seconds until it was completely gone.

People see these things all the time up here, operating at night in the wee hours of the morning in secluded places. We call them "movers". I personally see them at least once every two years. They are always single star-like lights, very bright, moving in curved paths, moving silently with no wings or vapor trail. I've been seeing them in these mountains since I was a teen age, and they are not satellites, I know what a satellite looks like. These things are way too slow, follow curvy paths, and seem to come in from space and then go back out to space within half a minute or so. I've seen them seem to notice when they are being observed, and I've seen them fly in to clouds for cover. I sure would like to figure out what these things are, they are too dim to film with an iPhone camera.
