Looked like an aircraft under jet or rocket propulsion but the trajectory was different from the aircraft at the two airports here (DFW and Love Field.) It resembled the shuttle reentries from the past.

Remarks
Trail was that of an object under propulsion, but the trajectory seemed all wrong for an aircraft. I thought it might have been something either ascending into or descending from orbit.
