Funnily enough, I was heading for Emersons Green, also on the E side of
Bristol!
I'm glad I wasn't hallucinating either (although my wife saw it at the
same time from the passengers seat so I did have instant confirmation
at the time). I would agree with your wife's description of the event.

Hello Barnaby,
My wife, standing at the kitchen door whilst I was admiring the first
quarter moon through my telescope, claimed that she saw something
very, very
similar. Direction was maybe a little N of W. She said that it moved
'vertically' downwards before disappearing and reckoned it much
brighter
than any star / planet. As you say the sky was still fairly bright in
that
direction.
Needless to say I didn't believe her! She's pleased to be proved
correct (as
usual).
Ken
PS Kitchen is in Longwell Green on E side of Bristol so quite a long
way
west of you
