Ball just appeared 'mid-sky'. It was as bright as an airplane headlight if it was directly facing you. Extremely quick and all at once a tail as wide and bright as the ball formed behind the ball and tapered down to almost a point. Tail was shimmery. It didn't get longer as the white ball fell. It fell as if it were one unit, staying the same brightness and total combined length. It followed exact slight arch path of the ball. Trees blocked my view as it continued falling.
