I lost track of it through trees, so I don't know how long/far it actually continued. But I saw flashes of it through them, so reported the last of those.

Remarks
I think it left a train that looked like an airplane trail, but there were a few in the sky and I was driving so I can't be sure. I was just maybe 90% sure that one of those trails corresponded to what I saw.
