Remarks
I was driving and looked to what I thought was fhe moon the I noticed a path of light that looked like a dotted line, I pulled over all then where the line was something looked like smoke for a lot longer. I wasn't sure what I first saw. I thought I saw the moon and then I realized it disappeared when I looked away and I could still see the dotted trail.
