| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | It came from the northeast and appeared to originate over Paris Mountain. It ended perhaps over Sakura Lake. The time was between 10:30-10:45? A friend and I were so blown away with what we saw we didn't even look at the time. |

| Remarks | At first, there was just a smoke train visible as it streaked across the sky but as it went overhead across the sky and got lower, the train began to glow and stopped "vaporizing?" and remained as if it was a very low and large chemtrail. It was glowing enough that I could see the rapid circulation of the smoke trail as if something was going through a wind tunnel. It looked like what the waves in water look like when a speed boat is going fast but with smoke, if that makes sense. |
