| Remarks | It was a white fat smoke trail like an airplane leaves taking off into the sky, but you could actually see that this was bigger towards the top coming thru the clouds, getting skinnier coming down. It was relatively dark and clear so I'd say the trail I saw went every bit of 3 miles thru hwy 255 and Maryville Rd it was real predominate when I went in to the gas mart and was pretty much faded when I came out a half hour later |
