| Remarks | While driving, saw a bright white ball with a similar bright white tail coming from my right view to my left view and disappeared as some building got in the way, however, once I past the bldgs I saw in the same flight direction were some mountains in which I saw 2 smoke puffs with an upward flow. There were no clouds in that particular area of the mtns. It just seems like the flight direction of the object was the same as the smoke puffs on the mountain/high hills. |
