Right as I walked outside, I looked up and saw what I thought was a meteor or falling star that looked like it was falling.

The light didn't have a long tail like most falling stars or meteors I've seen before. It seemed like the light was a ball that just fell a bit and then disappeared quickly. The whole thing was like two seconds total that I saw. I noticed right after though, that a large airplane was flying over above where I saw the light. It just seemed strange, I wasn't aware airplanes dropped objects while in flight, but I'm also not really educated on that topic either. Not trying to waste anyone's time, just seemed strange.
