A bright white object appeared in the sky, then shot straight up into the air leaving a bright tail, then everything disappeared.

I bright white object appeared in the sky out of nowhere. It almost as if someone flicked on a light. It looked like a round object that radiated white light. Just as soon as it appeared it shot directly up into the air leaving a white trail behind it. The next moment everything was completely dark again. The tail of the object didn't fade. It was almost as if someone drew a line across the night sky with a white marker.
