I was asking because landing lights can be very bright, even miles away and, if the aircraft changes course, they can seem to vanish quite suddenly. If the aircraft is light coloured it can then be very hard to see.

It's certainly possible. At this point I can't say with any confidence what it was and I didn't personally witness it shooting straight up "like a bullet" as the other people said.
