Traveling straight up, turning down, sharp angle to the right

I was walking my dog, and noticed what I thought for a moment was an airplane, but it was all lit and had a tail behind like a jet would have. But it was very bright unlike an airplane. I kept watching it, then it was coming down at an angle. So I thought it was a meteor. But then it made a sharp angle to the right. After a few seconds more it disappeared.
