I saw what I thought was ISS moving from the west toward southeast. Bright yellowish white large as Venus is tonight.

I observed the large point of light through binoculars and there was no appreciable shape other than glowing orb or circle. The object was moving faster than ISS usually does. No flashing lights. Faster than aircraft. The object traveled roughly west to southeast for a minute or so and it made a wide turn to the north. I followed the object through binoculars until it made a complete turn back to the west and continued north west until out of view. The elevation or angle in the sky relative to me did not change.
