Location: Fairfield, CA, USA

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Left a trail

Bluish tail mist

Bright light was traveling from the southeast to northwest with a bluish mist or tail behind it that was really long. Then the object started a fan shaped contrail with the same bluish mist that spread out over a huge area that tapered off to a point behind the object. The bluish mist stopped suddenly but you could still see the straight tail and the fanning out of the mist. The object kept going in a straight line and it seemed to be really high in the sky, at the very least in the 10's of miles up. After watching it for a few min it seemed to shroud itself in a mist again but not as much as before. It traveled that way for about 2 more min then it looked like it shot another tail of mist in front of it, kind of looked like a comet at that point, but it was in front of the object. Meaning it was traveling towards the tail it was shooting out. After another min it shot a tail out behind it while at the same time still had the tail in front of it. You! could clearly see the object in the middle of the 2 tails. After a few more min both tails vanished and the object was shrouded in a hazy mist at this time and continued on until it faded from sight.

I'm sure there will be reports on this but I haven't seen any yet. The initial bluish mist took up a very large portion of the sky.
