RE: (meteorobs) Is it a meteor or what???



I am sorry but it was too-slow, even with a brief-moment observations people
would say that the object was static. And the comma was very different with
any common form of jet-liner that I know since I also am very interested in
those.

It sounds very much like a high flying distant jet liner leaving behind a
vapor trail. I've seen this a number of times and confirmed it with the
usage of 14X100 binoculars. Your description fits it to a "T".
