A moving light split into two then merged back into one, then traveled repeatedly between two stars

Looking up at the sky from the beach on a clear night, a single white light was seen moving in a slow, steady arc across the sky. Initially we dismissed it as a satellite, but it then broke into two separate lights that, while continuing the original arc, also orbited clockwise around a central point twice before merging back into one light continuing for another couple seconds and then disappearing entirely.

Several minutes later, a similar white light appeared and seemed to pass back and forth between the stars Dubhe and Merak in the Big Dipper about 5 times over the course of a minute before disappearing again completely.
