Duration:8minutes
fast moving over Michigan

At aprox. 8:10pm I noticed a contrail being made in the northern sky. The object making the trail was moving extreamly fast. Three or four times as fast as a jet plane and at an altitude (guessing) of maybe 20 to 25,000 ft., it was going south. Then at that speed, it made a 180 degree turn within 3 seconds, still leaving a trail. Then about 5 seconds after it turned it disappeared. I kept looking for about a minute or so and saw the object again, (no trail) going west then east then west again, all in a span of ten or fifteen seconds, then disappered.
