Bright light in sky with aura around it moving very fast and leaves o rings after idling then accelerating to high speed

I live in Austin TX and while I was driving down Riverside Friday night I looked in the sky and saw what looked like a really bright star but this light had a surrounding glow to it that the regular stars didn’t have . So I decided to record it and once I started recorded I noticed it was moving really fast towards south Austin and when it would take off it would only leave what looked like the reaction to breaking the sound barrier although this flying object never made noise or left trails . I have a clear video of the object if anyone would like to see
