Bright white light suddenly appears and drops straight down

My daughter and I saw a bright, White light simply appear, not high up, But in the sky, and then instantly dropped down. It stayed bright white and it happened within a second or two. The drop was not at a sideways angle, It literally dropped straight down very quickly.  The light was extremely bright as well. My daughter asked if I saw it and I told her yes but I didn’t say anything right away because I didn’t think she would believe me. I can’t really say it was a shape, just a bright light.  iIt was fairly large in size but not huge, as it’s hard to tell size when we didn’t have anything to compare it to, there really aren’t any houses where we saw it. It was dark outside. The brightness stayed consistent until we didn’t see it anymore.  It appeared drop straight down stayed the same bright color and it happened in seconds
