Bright circular light that left a glowing tail with the object moving straight up and then hanging for moments before disappearing.
We initially saw what appeared to be a falling star but it was moving straight up into the sky leaving a very bright tail behind. At the head was a very bright cirlular object with a very long, bright tail trailing behind. My wife thought it looked like a rocket and I thought it looked like a shooting star. It was partly cloudy and the tail grew and then it seemed to suspend in the air and then just disappeared and left behind a glowing trail. Then it was gone as if it wasn't there at all. I checked the Camp Pendleton website to see if there were any reported military activities from the base which is on the other side of the Santa Rosa Mountains from where we saw the lights and nothing was being reported as being planned for this day. I am a graduate of a California State University with an MBA in Finance, am employed and married with three children.
