explosion in the sky

frankly this looked to us like the explosion of a airplane. there was a flash of light that filled the sky followed by a trail that formed an "s" shape. after that there was no debris visible to the naked eye.

NUFORC Note:

No audible report was detected by any of the witnesses, as can be the case with dramatic meteors. PD
