A very bright light that was low when it changed directions got brighter, and disappeared high into the sky

Yeah, just lay down to start watching shooting stars my mom and my two kids. Within five minutes my mom said look at that shooting star which it was not. It was very low, very bright round, light coming from the south west from the direction of town. It was lower than a plane, but still high in the sky. It was headed in the north east direction, and when it started shifting directions, it got brighter like the source was angle at us. And then started heading north or more of a north west direction and rising. There was no sound. It was much faster than a plane, much slower than a shooting star. It was no tail. It was like something I’ve never seen we kept her eyes onto it and continued actually into the direction of the big dipper. And actually disappeared ( continued out of our sight) into the center of the big dipper. That night, we also seen planes and seen a jet even heard the jet, but nothing to do with that light, just wanted it to be known we know the difference we like stargazing..
