Bright, light is stationery in the sky, then rapidly falls toward horizon
Facing north, I observed a light about 45 degrees above the horizon. The light was white, slightly larger than a bright planet.
I first noticed the light stationery or virtually stationery in the sky for a few seconds. I assumed that it was a star, planet, or perhaps an aircraft moving straight toward me, and appearing to be mostly stationery. Nothing about its appearance at this point was especially noteworthy.
Then, suddenly, from its stationery point in the sky, the object appeared to drop rapidly straight toward the horizon. The object appeared to simply fall from the sky. It moved far more rapidly than any conventional aircraft could have moved.
Simply stated, it looked like a very bright star that came unstuck from the fabric of the sky and fell downward. It was quite a remarkable sight. I saw it clearly and I am certain that I am not mistaken about what I saw.
As it fell, my view of the object was occluded by buildings closer to the horizon.
Since I had clearly seen it stationery, I am certain that it was not a shooting star.
