| Remarks | smoke trail going straight up/vertical was what I first noticed (like a large plane contrail), then saw the bright white fireball - moving faster than a plane but slower than a shooting star, but then it curved/arced to the right with a elongated triangular/crescent shape behind it as it stabilized and went straight across horizon to the right for maybe 20 seconds and it slowly fizzled out to nothing |
