NARRATIVE

It was a perfectly blue sky, no clouds in sight.  A friend and I were looking in a northwest direction above the horizon, when we noticed a very fast moving object heading north along the coast.  It was too far away to describe a shape, but appeared to leave a white tail.  As it was gaining in altitude, after traveling 5 or 10 miles, it suddenly made a 90 degree turn (I mean, a complete left angle)heading upward in a west direction and quickly disappeared through the atmosphere.  There was no sound.  It was incredibly fast and quiet!
Date is approximate.  PD
