I observed a bright light in the eastern sky. A separate light shot out from it circled back and returned to it. Then they vanished

At 3:35 AM I observed a bright light or light cluster in the sky to the east about 15° fro the horizon. At first I thought it was a star or star cluster. Then it got brighter so I thought it may be an approaching airplane. It continued to get brighter, and then suddenly there was a second smaller light the shot or ejected from the initial light. The second light was smaller, did a loop to the south of the first object, and returned to the first object. Once it had returned both objects disappeared. There were no clouds, no storms, and no sounds.
