There was a plane flying nearby where I saw it I tried to film after to see if I saw anything else at first I thought maybe the plane was crashing and an engine fell off but I saw the plane still flying with no issues after the thing disappeared. It was not a cloud of smoke that the plane leaves behind this was coming toward the earth the plane was higher and going in the opposite direction
