Remarks Very wide, greenish trail that spread out in both directions perpendicular to the direction of travel of the object (from my perspective up and down), very similar in appearance to a wake in water from a boat. The trail lasted for several moments in the sky even after the object went out of my field of vision due to the trees on the street.
