| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I looked up to view the sky, and noticed this white trail. At first I assumed it was a jet at very high velocity. However, as I continued to watch, I could tell that it was not a jet but all trail. White. It lasted for approx. 15 minutes. I called my wife to view it also. |
