Endicott, NY

I was out on my porch at 20:35pm, watching the sky in the direction of the moon. Suddenly I noticed a round object that was the size of a star which was traveling at high speeds in the South East direction. For approximately 18 seconds the object had a straight trajectory. Suddenly, within 2 seconds, it changed the direction towards the North at a higher speed and it disappeared. I believe that it wasn't an airplane, nor did it have any blinking lights.
