If you can remember enough details, we could have a fairly good
chance of identifying what kind of thing you saw. But it sounds to
me like it would require a lot of questions and answers to rule out
a large number of possibilities. The brightness of the sky, brightness
of the streak and of the halo, length and width of the streak, speed
of the streak across the sky, size of the halo, and on and on.

The fact that you were in an unusual situation (for you) suggests
that it was most likely an ordinary phenomenon that you hadn't
seen before because you were new to the place.
