I have never seen a shooting star do this. It was amazing when I witnessed it and it seemed like something I'd never seen before

I saw what appeared to be a shooting star but halfway through its trajectory, it flashed brightly lasting maybe 2 seconds then streaked across the sky at a downward angle
