Bright white light traveling south to north

I had just climbed out of my hunting stand and noticed a bright white light traveling in the sky. It reminded me of a landing light on an airplane. I really didn't think much of it because there are a few runways around. As I watched it, it took a instant 90 degree shift (not like a turn) to the west. I went behind the tops of trees out of my sight. So, I pulled up my binoculars and started searching the sky at the end of the tree line. Never saw the bright white light come out the other side, but what I did see were to small lights (one red, one white) heading back in a southerly at an unreal rate of speed. They were not blinking like navigation lights. The movement of the white light was smooth and instantly shifted to the west unlike anything I have ever seen move in the sky.
