It was beautiful but looked far away, it was falling downward at a sharp angle. We saw it from our car as we entered a parking lot

It looked like a primary object with pieces trailing behind or breaking off it. These little pieces followed the same path and burned up quicker than the main body. It looked like a massive shooting star that lasted a long time
