Two balls of light in clear night sky.Saw a large bright light shine and go out quickly. As it went out a smaller light seemed to shoot out from it. The smaller secondary light resembled a meteorite streaking across the sky and seemed to just burn out. Streaked across the sky for around three seconds. Very strange. I've seem many meteorites or "shooting stars", but never saw one emerge from another ball of light that lit up and blinked out stationary as a smaller one seemed to come from it. The sky was very clear and plenty of stars. The lights were brilliant white just as a normal looking "shooting star" but one just "turned off" and the other seemed to burn out as it streaked across the sky. We were on our way to the store when we saw it in our driveway. When we got back home it was cloudy and overcast w no stars in sight. And a half moon or better so it was quite bright out. These objects seemed very high.
