The object was brighter on the eastern end of the short light trail and it appeared stationary in the sky. The trail itself wasn’t long. The object appeared visibly through moderate cloud cover and wavered in strength at the end before disappearing completely. It lasted for just about ten or eleven seconds including the flickering time. It appeared in the direction of west to east and at a slight diagonal to the 90 degree spot from the horizon.

Remarks
The object seemed to brighten and dim repeatedly toward the end when it disappeared, but it seemed stationary and the trail of light behind it was very short.
