Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 3

Location: Augusta Springs, VA, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Left a trail

We saw an unusual bright blue flash in the sky and then noticed a trail in the sky that quickly faded away.

My mother, boyfriend, younger brother and myself were traveling in a south/southwesterly direction in Augusta Springs, VA on the road that goes past the Augusta correctional center. It was about 9:00PM.

All of a sudden my mom, boyfriend and I saw a bright electric blue flash, like heat lightning, that lit up the whole sky and interior of the car. Out of the driver's side window my mom noticed a trail going through the sky.

She pulled over the car so that my boyfriend and I could get out to see it. It looked like a vapor trail with a bend in it. It was fairly short, if I had held a ruler up to the sky in front of my face it would have been 4-6 inches long.

It was a greyish blue color and came down from the sky at about a fortyfive degree angle. It faded away in about 1 minute or less from when my mom had first noticed it.
