pulsating light crosses sky

I was out stargazing, as usual and saw a very strange light crossing the night sky. It was not a satellite nor a plane. It was moving in a southwestern pattern. It was also pulsating. It would get bright, then very dim as if to almost disappear. I thought maybe it was a satellite, but it was different. As I continued to watch, I did in fact see a satellite cross, and this thing was definetly bigger and brighter and did not move in a very straight pattern like the satellite did. I then began thinking it must be a plane, but it was way too high. I then saw a plane float by and I realized it definetly was not a plane either. The planes have the distinctive blue and red lights that alternate, and the moving thing did not. It was also way higher than any plane can go. I followed it until I could not see it any longer (approximately a minute or so).
