Remarks
when i first saw it it looked like the trail of white made by a jet, after it exploded it looked like a curling ribbon falling towards the ground... it reminded me of when the Challenger shuttle exploded and you saw what looked like pieces falling and making white trails
Terminal flash

Yes
Remarks
it looked like an explosion, I thought it was a plane going down and exploding or someone had set of fireworks but it was too small and too close to be a plane, and too big to be fireworks

after the explosion I just saw the white trail drifting towards the ground but it dispersed within a couple of minutes
