A dark round object, then a bright flash of light trailing the sky.

I was outside watching the overcast in the sky early in the morning and remember thinking "the clouds are the perfect cover for them to observe us without us noticing." Not even a couple seconds later, I saw a dark, round object slightly lower from the clouds, and quickly shoot back into cover. My eyes were fixated in the spot where I saw movement, cause I thought it was a plane or something.. and a few moments later, a huge flash of light trailed across the sky in the opposite direction that the dark object moved in. The trail of light lasted for like two seconds and then completely disappeared. No sound whatsoever. The lights in the backyard were dimming in and out a little bit while all of this happened, but it was also storming that day, so it could have been from that as well.
