Bright light descends above Reading, PA

My husband and I were traveling toward Kenhorst, PA from Knauers, PA on Rt 625 at about 6 AM. Through a break in the trees on 625, we noticed a very bright white object descending through the clouds. We only observed the light for a few seconds.

Strangely, the moon was behind us and to the left as we were driving, and it was a very cloudy morning, so I couldn't believe it was a shooting star. This object was so bright it appeared to be in the clouds rather than behind them. Does anyone know what this could have been?
