A bright light moving in a straight line too fast for a plane and too slow for a meteor

A bright white oval, moving in a straight line, far too slow for a meteorite and far too fast for an airplane.

The light did not blink or have a tail. It moved beyond the horizon. At first it seemed like a meteorite, then it seemed like a plane falling out of the sky, given its slowness and size. The straight-line trajectory makes me think it was most likely a meteor or a falling piece of space junk.
