| Length | 10° |
| Remarks | It was a bright fire-like brightness trail. After the initial burn up the trail lasted 5-7 seconds . That trail was a bright white smoke that started to fade relatively more slow. It faded from white smoke to grey. I tried to take a video of the smoke fading but I dont know If it was visible on video w/o significant enhancements. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The sky was clear, it was quiet . I just happened to look up at the clear sky and next thing I know , there was a bright sun like brightness in the sky with a trail behind it. (Imagine making the "PEACE"sign with your fingers on your left hand, then rotate that "V" so that the legs of the "V" point towards the right. And that is approximately the type of smoke trail I witnessed when It faded |
