Bright light with a long tailing streak moving Westward

Saw a very bright light with a very long streak behind it heading East to West. My guess is that is was a piece of space debris burning up in the atmosphere. It was moving faster that a a jet would move but much slower than a shooting star. The light was quite bright. Mostly white, possibly slightly blue.
