Object's light looks like a meteor falling in Earth's atmosphere

I was going for a walk to the park, crossing the yard I saw a bright streak in the western sky, very far away. I first thought it was a plane, it may have been a plane, but it looked more like a comet or meteor. Like the one that was caught on tape some years back over a football field.

Now I did not think it a craft, but It appeared to be going down in the harizion, in the western sky of mississippi.

The tail seemed short for a plane, yet very wide since I could Not see the object. It was that far away.

It may have been a comet, if it was not a plane.

Oh it was going south to the north, downwards in the western sky of Mississippi. At about 4:45pm to 5pm, central time zine
