Location: Des Moines, WA, USA

Shape: Unknown

I was driving Southbound on I-5, Milepost 147, at 05:57 A.M., just passed the old Des Moines, WA, garbage dump.

I was at the top of the hill, it was dark, clear, about 37 degrees outside, when a very wide (widest I've ever seen) green trail was going across the sky about 45 degree angle from north to the south and very high in elevation, streaking on a downward angle toward earth, it was visible for about 1-min. very bright trail wider than any contrail I ever seen in the sky.

I couldn't see the object, or any other objects in the sky.

NUFORC Note:

Possible contrail, being illuminated by the rising Sun?? PD
