Went out with video ready on cell phone hoping to catch a 'trailer'. Waited 30 mins (1/2 hr) but nothing else. Sun coming up.

Remarks
Solid white (small) ball with very long white trail. Sparked a few red spots (rivets?) about halfway through sky (maybe a piece came off). Longest trail/time I've ever seen. Using east horizon as 180 deg overhead as 0 deg, came into view at about 23 deg and traveled EENE at 203 ded.
