I was in my car and I was up on a hill looking over a valley so the horizon was at a different angle. It went out before it got to the ground but it was pretty low. There was a smoke looking trail in the area of it but it was getting dark. This is also an area with low flying passenger jets that could have caused the smoke looking trail though. But what I saw was not a jet.
