Bright light moving in the sky

I was walking along a road staring up at the Hunter star formation when I saw a light, similar to that of a star, but a lot bigger appear. I thought at first it was a helicopter search light, but then there was no sound and it was very quiet and moving too fast to be searching for anything. It moved like a shooting star, but starting out slow and then accelerating away so fast I didn't see where it ended up, the light vanished. I couldn't see or hear anything and my surroundings where quiet. It wasn’t a plane because it was too low and there were no taillights. It wasn’t a shoot star because again it was too big and there are never shooting stars in England.
