We observed a bright light, low on the horizon, moving towards us that we noticed as it got closer to be a backlit grayish white object

It was a perfectly clear, dry night. We observed the object moving towards us from the west to the east, low on the horizon just below Venus and Jupiter. The light appeared brighter and larger than Venus. As it approached we realized the light was backlighting a large spherical object. At a certain point the object veered slowly 90 degrees in a southerly direction. In doing so, it revealed it’s side view to be an elongated object, preceded by a sphere followed by an angled frame trailing a smaller object that the light seemed to be emanating from. The object continued in a southerly direction and suddenly disappeared. There was absolutely no noise coming from it.
