| Remarks | At first I saw a bright orange light in the sky and the longer I looked, I thought it looked like a meteor. By the time I could decide, it was gone and all that was remaining was a smoke trail-white ish smoke in the dark of night and the light was entirely gone. The smoke trail disappeared too after less then 10 seconds. It was longer than the orange trail. About one fist length at arms length away |
