2 moving lights becoming 1 then breaking off into compass point directions at high speed.

Every night I look up to the Big Dipper, have since childhood. Tonight I looked up but there were two extra stars to the left of the cup end the two were moving in a northern direction evenly spaced, 1 behind the other the one behind began gaining on the other then they seemed to merge to become one. At that point within seconds the light broke up into 4 individual lights darting off at high speed each in a direction of their own at a north south east and west.

I have never seen anything like this. I called to my wife to witness it. she thought I was loosing it! Found this site while searching if anyone else saw this!
