Falling bright light

I was driving and saw a bright strange looking single round light in the sky that, when it caught my eye, was already falling down towards the Earth, moving slightly faster than free fall speed. As it got closer to the ground it just disappeared, almost as if behind clouds. As it came down I was like “what is that? A bomb or something?” I have never seen a shooting star like that, it looked larger and clearer and just a different kind of light. Hard to explain but it just seemed very different, and I tend to stargaze a fair amount. It did sort of fade out I guess, but not like a shooting star, and it was slower than a shooting star, way slower.
