White light like falling star appears to hit earth

At 8:00 pm, I was driving home, headed south. I was heading up a slight hill, only minutes from my house.

In front of me, in the sky, I saw a bright white light, the shape of a star, but too big and close. It looked more like a white light from an airplane. However, it was falling at a rapid angle like a shooting star. I watched it fall, thinking it looked like it could hit a house.

Then the light suddenly went completely out. I thought maybe I had seen a real meteor hitting the earth in my area or maybe a distressed plane had gone down. But there was no crash or engine noise.

I have no idea what I saw!
