Glowing white, diamond shaped object in the sky to the west , above Seattle slowly moving straight up.

While at a traffic light in Seattle's Greenlake area I noticed a strange, misshapen, diamond like white light formation in the sky to the West. It's elevation was as high as any airplane I've seen in the sky, and size much bigger. Almost like someone had taken a razor and made a vertical cut in the skyline and light was bursting through the cut.

It seemed to moving slowly and steadily, straight upward. I watched it as long as my light lasted and around the corner, it did not appear to be going away anytime soon. Other people had to have seen it, I was surprised not to see news reports explaining it. Any idea what I saw?



NUFORC Note:

Date is approximate. We wonder whether the witness might have been looking at a high-altitude contrail, illuminated by the setting sun. Just a guess. PD
