Odd light in the sky

I was in my backyard on the phone with my friend. I looked up and saw a a light traveling north to south. I thought that it was a plane, but it seemed to high to be a plane. I have worked in the travel industry for my entire adult life and I am well versed in aircraft and flight paths and this didnt fit either of those. After a few seconds the light slowed down considerably and then grew very bright. Once the light's brightness reached its peak, the light started moving up at a 45-55 degree angle and then the light started to dim and after a few more seconds, the light disappeared completely. I told my friend who I was on the phone with what I saw and that I couldnt believe it! Anyway, that was what happened. It was odd to say the least! And I must mention, that when it happened, it was still very light outside! There were only the two brightest stars visible in the sky. And the light that I saw was very bright and then just disappeared! It was truly bizarre!
