At about 7:00 PM in the evening I noticed what looked immediately like a bright comet in the sky. It had a wide, bright white tail fanning out from from a point at the front of the "fan". I looked at it through 2 sets of binoculars and a 90mm Retractor. Through all of these instruments it looked just like a comet in the sky with the exception of a random flashing blue light either at the forefront of the tail or somewhere inside of it. It moved though the sky very slowly but in only one direction.
It dissipated after about 25-30 minutes.
I thought perhaps it was the remnants of a trail from a rocket. I checked for a shuttle launch but one did not take place this evening.
I believe it was some kind of smoke remnant but I simply cannot explain the intermittent blue light. I will continue to sour the internet for an answer to this phenonmenon.
