This object went slightly upward at an angle, not downward. It started in the treeline and disappeared well above the treeline. It was a strange trajectory and lasted long enough to tell a friend to turn around and look the we watched it as it traveled from East to West. We literally turned around at least 180 degrees to see the ending point. It lasted 5-10 seconds and was 10 times larger than any other I have ever seen. It literally gave me chills. Spotted in Eastern NC travelling West

Remarks
The trail was extremely thick and glowing white. It was the longest I have ever seen, 12-14 inches if I were measuring it as it went across sky. This object flew from East to West. I had to turn around mere that 180 degrees to see from start point to finish
