Observed a flying dart.

I witnessed a very high altitude vehicle, best description a dart.

I was viewing the Moon when the craft passed between my vantage point, Moon was in the southwestern sky, the object was at approximately 70,000 feet moving southeast to northwest.

It had a clearly definable contrail behind it approximately 1000 feet in length.

The color was reflecting the setting sun and glistened.

It took the object less than 5 seconds to clear my vantage point.

This was not a commercial airliner and there are not many military vehicles that can fly at that altitude.

No sound.

We spoke with the witness via telephone, and he sounded to us to be quite serious-minded, and sincere about his report. PD
