What was that? (Not scary)

Added a little. I tried my best to remember, as someone who has never had such an experience, but... Back when I was a kid... maybe around elementary school age? The sun had set, and I was in a car with my cousin's family, waiting for something (I forgot what). While waiting, I was idly looking out the window when I saw something shining in the sky a little distance away (now that I think about it, it was really close to the horizon, like it was going to hit the house). UFO?! By the time I thought that, it was already gone. A meteorite? But it seemed to shine really close to the horizon (I usually imagine them burning up higher in the sky...), so it really is a "what was that"... Was it a fireball or something? Still, it was just a moment 🤔 Oh, by the way, there are no airports around here, so that's not a possibility. I forgot about it because it wasn't there lol But I think no one else saw it but me (since no one reacted, I stayed quiet too...), so it's still a mystery... There was no SNS back then either. It's not interesting, is it? lol
