Black Trail In Sky

We don't think we saw a craft, but we did see a long, black contrail. There was no craft or visible object leaving it, but it did grow in length over the course of about 20 minutes. Even after 30 minutes, it still had not dissipated or broken apart. We think it might have been a small asteroid burning up or perhaps space debris, but we are not certain.
