When I noticed it I had my back towards I-20 and was walking towards highway 78 the Oxford elementary School was to my right seemed to be slightly north eastern the streak seemed to be fairly long from my point of view it looked easy to be the length of a football field in actual length I don't not know it could of been a thousand or ten thousand feet long but it lasted a easy 2 one thousands if you are counting and saying one one thousand two one thousand three one thousand and so on the ghostly trail that remained in the sky only where it shined lasted a while if you look at the location I saw it from where I was standing all the way up to that very next building on your right hand side it's a blue shop i saw the trail up to that blue building and then it blocked my view when it first got my attention I saw a bright whitish green dot and at first it didn't seem to be moving very fast then simultaneously after first noticing I it streaked looked just like a horizontal lightning bolt but the color is difficult to explain but I believe Fluorescent Teal-to-Sapphire Gradient would be the absolute best I can describe it because I wasn't watching the sky I was walking to the store and I just happened to see it out the corner of my eye then no sooner did I look up and to the right about mid ways from my shoulder and looking straight dead a head imagine half way from those two points and it was a little less then 45 degrees say 40° it was traveling in what appeared to be from a southwardly direction to a northerly it was in the eastern night sky.

it was very faint and I had to do a double look at first I thought it was smoke but it seemed to be more of a electrical almost similar to a very strong bolt of lighting how it sometime will leave a ghostly image behind that's exactly how this looked or what it reminded me of
