At first I thought it was a jet in the sky. Then I realized it was getting lower at an angle and going way too fast for an aircraft. And the tail was very long. As I watched it from my window it was very bright and vivid at no time fizzling or fading as I watched it disappear from my viewpoint. I ran outside to follow it but it had already gone behind my house and out of view. The experience was quite unsettling but very beautiful.

Remarks
It did not change. It was solid and long and the entire time I watched it it never disappeared or fizzled out. It only disappeared from my view but was very strong and bright
