I was driving home on dozier road when I saw a "streak" of fire across the sky. the front appeared brighter than the trail behind it. It was traveling at a consistent speed across the sky. It was really neat to see. When I got home I saw a curved vapor trail directly over my house that lasted at least an hour.

What appeared to be a vapor type trail that had a curve to it that lasted for quite some time. Not sure how long it lasted past dark but it was still there after it got dark an hour later.
