[meteorite-list] Smoke Trail

[G. Nicula]

Hello everyone,

A couple of weeks ago I saw something in the sky that I recalled seeing once ten years or so ago.  A white streak, not unlike that of a passing jet, with a shadow of some sort beneath it.  This time the white streak appeared to be heading down to earth at an angle considered foolish for any jet.  The blackish shadow was a mere copy of the white streak, but below it.  When I saw this many years ago, I thought of it as some kind of shadow cast onto something in the air that I couldn't see.  But this time the angle caused me to think that I may have just missed the opportunity to view a daytime fireball.  Thinking back, I now remember that the first time I had seen this there were several streaks of this nature.  Something I recently read about dust has piqued my curiosity.

Any comments?
