Visually Chelyabinsk scale formation from star-like dot that traveled a minimum of ten time faster than a MIRV.

With nearly cloudless and perfect visibility conditions, a very large somewhat cloud-like meteor-trail shape which covered most of the sky, and glowed a silvery white similar to a scientific sounding rocket. There was absolutely no yellow tint, almost blue with "Beer-Powder Effect". The entire event happened in about one second. No increase in my area luminosity nor audio was noticed. The structure began to form at about 80 degrees from horizontal facing east, to 50 degrees south-east. This structure looked like it was over South-Boston/Connecticut. It seemed like it was 1/4 mile in diameter and 10 miles long. The silvery cloud appeared to sublimate in a downward motion, and did not visibly disperse/mix. It did not slowly float around like rocket-launch plumes which are visible from sunlight. This object had a more static/plastic flow. This large structure materialized in the air from a small star like object which traveled extremely fast. After watching Youtube videos of MIRV reentry for comparison, I estimate the small dot to be a minimum of ten times the speed across my vision. The cloud-like structure did not translate position.
