I was stargazing at 10:30 PM watching planes flying east to west and then observing the Big Dipper to my north. It was a clear night. Almost directly above me I saw a bright light that i thought was Venus. But it was moving so i thought it was a jet with its landing light on since it was so bright. But it moved like a satellite south to north and visibly dimmed a second later and then faded away as it moved into the Big Dipper. A few minutes later a much dimmer light more like usual satellites followed the same path and then also faded away in the same area. It did not flash like an iridium flare satellites do just after sunset.
