red orange fireball across sky then making a 90 degree turn, moving fast again, then disappeared

I was admiring the clear night sky when an orange red fireball came across the sky from west to east and moving very very fast, I'm not knowledgable to judge the speed, and as we (my husband) watched it, it then made a 90 degree turn, continued, then disappeared. I kept watching the sky and again it came across the sky in an easterly direction then completely disappeard. After, on discussion, we agreed that it was not an aeroplane due to the 90 degree turn (and moving so much faster) and that also it was not a satalite due to its speed. We were on vacation on the Pacific beach just 2 hours outside Panama (canal) city.
