Star/Satellite like object in the sky that changed direction
My friend and I were camping in Sequoia National Park, in the Dorst Creek campground. This campsite is appoximately 8k feet in elevation with no cell phone reception nor many lights. It was around 23:00 hours and we were looking up at the sky and how clear it was. I saw a white star like object pass slowly across the sky and pointed it out to him, saying it was a satellite, as I have observed satellites in the past.
We sat for approximately 10 more minutes looking up at the sky, as we observed 2 more satellites pass by during this time. Each one moved across the sky at a steady rate of speed in a continuous, uninterrupted direction.
About a minute or so later, we observed another star like object. This object moved as the other satellites previously had, at a steady speed and direction. Yet about 2/3 of the way across the sky, the object made a 45 degree sharp turn, continuing at the same rate of speed it had been moving at, but now headed in a southern direction. We both witnessed this and both of us turned to each other in astonishment.
