What I thought was a shooting star bounced and sped away in a different direction faster than it was moving before

I was walking to my house from my car and I looked up at the sky. After a few seconds I saw what looked like a shooting star. I’ve seen many shooting stars before so I know what they look like but after a second I realized it was moving in a weird way. The star was moving along a slight curve instead of a straight line. It direction it was moving also seemed unnatural but was almost unnoticeable at first glance. It looked like it was at more of an airplane leven than a shooting star level in the sky. Before I was able to process that something was off, the star took a sharp dip and seemingly bounced in the shape of a check mark and quickly sped off in a direction away from me and the light disappeared with it.
