Shooting star like Object darting around sky in the shape of a fishing hook.

I was take photos of the sunrise facing east. I had my camera set up on a tripod doing long/multiple exposures. I was looking south to see if the boats (container ships) on the horizon line are moving or staying still. Just above the horizon a light caught my eye. At first it looked like a shooting star, it appeared to be moving at a 45º angle to the horizon, with a slight downward arc. When it was just above the horizon it darted up and then made a movement in the shape of a fish hook as it disappeared. It was about 3 to 5 times the thickness of a shooting star. About 5 to 7 times brighter than a plane but moved about 10x faster than a plane. The object did not reflect on the ocean and did get dimmer as it approached the horizon as to appear outside the earths atmosphere. The entire even happen in less than a second. As I saw it I put my hand on my phone in my pocket, by that time it was over.
