One brightly lit ball that left a trail.
The craft appeared to be moving from southwest to Northeast. At a medium altitude, aprox. 2 or 3 miles up. We had intermitant fog cover to look through when observing this object. It had an exhaust and was brightly lit. The front was rounded and moved at a constant speed. It did not appear to be losing altitude but it did look like it was burning up. We observe this object to be a white and brightly lit with no blinking lights of a normal plane. It had an exhaust tail that was quite uniform in two sections out the back. It made no sound like any other plane going the speed of sound.
