It moved rather quickly across the sky. It may have been in close orbit or just entered the atmosphere. It dipped below my line of sight so I don’t know its fate.

Remarks
The train was cone shaped, almost like an ice cream cone, and it faded as it grew distant from the source object. It appeared unchanging as it moves rather quickly across the sky.
