A bright ball of light with a trail of bright light behind it & possibly in front, which moved horizontally low across a cloudy sky.

I was taking my dog out. After leaving the porch, my dog didn’t want to go into the yard and it took some coaxing to get him to go. As he was going I noticed a light above me & to my left. (We have a yard light so for me to notice the light from the sky is unusual plus it was cloudy out. ) I looked up and saw a bright “ball” of light moving low and horizontal across the sky. It was to my left /west and was moving north. After a few seconds, it disappeared. I never seen a falling star like that- so low & bright and moving horizontal. It looked like a ball moving across, with a trail of light behind it and possibly in front. It seemed like it was directly crossing over my yard and wasn’t that high in the air- maybe double the height of a tall tree .
