| Remarks | Smoke trail, not straight, ever slightly bumpy, slight curve. Never saw it heard any type of air plane or copter. Nothing. After the ball of very bright light, equal to sunlight on the ocean, only the Smoky trail remained for a few seconds. Over the ocean. I was walking South West when I saw the light and the smoke trail. I see military planes all the time. This looked different. No sound. Light disappeared. Smoke trail |
