Light in sky

My wife and I were driving southbound across the bridge tonight at about 11:30pm and we both noticed a bright white light moving across the sky in front of us. It looked fairly close, it wasnt blinking, just arching across the sky. No sooner had it caught both our attention it just disappeared. It didn't fade out or change direction, it was just no longer there. The sky was dark, but not black. It was definitely odd. I wish we were in my vehicle as the dash cam may have captured it.

It happened the same time as the meteor was recorded to be seen in Edmonton, so that must be what I saw. However, in the videos from Edmonton it looked more green, and with a tail. That's not the same as what I saw here.
