moving object vanishes as airplane approaches

I noticed  what looked like a single star moving across the sky, I thought it was most likely a satellite, what I find odd is, as an airplane was heading in the direction of the object, it object just vanished as if it turned off its lights. About 10 minutes later I see the same thing happened in a different  part of the sky. There are no clouds in the sky tonight. Wasn’t fast enough to be a meteorite and had no tail.
