Saw it while I was biking to work on Spring garden. I realized quickly it wasn’t a plane (moving way too quickly and the trail was bright) and I watched it before I saw it disappear behind a building. I didn’t get to see the entire duration because a building was obstructing the view, but it was remarkable.
