Hovering bright light with satellite lights expelling from it

At 4:11 am, I noticed a very bright, clear light moving through the sky. At first I thought it might be a plane but then realized it was moving far too fast. I woke my husband up when I noticed it began hovering in mostly the same spot, with the exception of some zigzagging for the next two hours until we could no longer see it with the morning light. The entire time, other smaller lights appeared to emanate and break away from the larger light source. Some leaving at a high rate of speed until vanishing and others circling nearby before returning. The main light source was also disappearing and re-emerging in the same spot. We aren’t sure if that was from clouds obscuring our vision but the sky seemed mostly clear to us. At times, there appeared to be some type of spot light or haze coming from the main source of light.
