But i could not see any aircraft being visible, and thought if this might be a smaller meteor skimming the the upper atmosphere :/ ??????????????
No sounds heard, and it was moving approx. north to south, at my best guess.
Perhaps it was a plane but that was so high it wasn't visible to you?
I see that from time to time. The plane is barely visible, if at all, but leaves a big fat contrail behind it. And the sound doesn't reach my ears.
Anyhow, this would seem like a possibility to me.
I saw something similar recently, it was last Monday afternoon I guess. I figured that the plane itself was in an air pocket of higher temperature than its trail would be and that it was masked by its trail somehow as seen from my viewpoint -- or otherwise by some faint not readily discernible haze of another nature. FWIW.
