Travelling and Disappearing Starlight

It was about 9:28 pm, just after dusk. I was in a parking lot surrounded by considerably open space. To the north I noticed a light heading SW at the speed of an airplane. The light looked only slightly bigger than Venus, and actually just looked like a travelling bigger star. There was no pulsating, just a constant moving white light. In about 90 seconds of observing, I heard the running of something with the sound of tennis shoes; which suddenly stopped or disappeared as soon as I looked in its direction followed by an evanescent light relation.

I noticed in addition, that when I looked at this travelling light in the sky from the side of my eye, there appeared to be a long beam stretching seemingly all the way back. However, this sight was quickly lost, and could not be seen straight on. I tested this 5-6 times, and everytime I got the same result. About 1-2 minutes later, I saw the light qucikly dim. Then a few seconds later the light disappeared completely with no help of clouds. This was the only msytical aspect of the experience, everything seemed rational albeit unexplained.
