MY husband and I were sitting in our backyard last Friday night around 1am. I looked up at the sky, it was a clear night and you could see the stars. All of a sudden I saw this bright white shape, I guess you could say it was in the shape of a tear drop, but very large with a large white tail, moving very fast. Faster than I had ever seen anything move. It lite up the sky, and unlike a falling star that goes downward, this bright white light, with a large trail of smoke behide it. Or what seemed like a trail of smoke was moving upward very very fast. Then it was gone. I had never seen anything before like it. But the stranges thing was the tail of smoke seemed to disappear with it, as though it was attached to it.I can draw it, but having trouble discribing it. We do not live near any airports, airfields armybases or anything that could of caused it. It was very dark out side and this lite up the sky, it was so big.
