Satellite changed direction while I watched

I was out in the field with my daughters star gazing. When I see a satellite moving from west to east. I started to show them the light moving and let them know it’s a satellite. But it slowed down and then stopped. I never seen anything like it before in my life. And I’m a Canadian Army Vet, skydiver, and lived on air bases in my youth. But here’s where it really made me go wow this is something very different. That’s when a second “satellite” moved from north to south crossing the path of the one that stopped. Then second one kept going while the first one then moved south east. The satellite changed direction! Never seen that before in my life. My daughters could see it but they are just 10 and 7 so they don’t really know what they were looking at
