| Remarks | While driving I thought it was just a jet leaving a trail, but it headed downward. I continued to look at it and I thought I saw a "burst" or "poof" as it was moving" It continued to move from right to left leaving a trail, but the object itself disappeared. I drove several miles all the while looking at this object, so I think it lasted over 1 minute. Once "it stopped, or disappeared" there was a white trail in the sky. I saw no "bright" light during this time. |
