- Attached is a photo I took on with my iPhone this December 28th at approx. 4:22pm in the country in Quebec, (Canada). I have several more if you'd like to see them.
I was walking west on the train tracks thinking of my new year resolutions when I saw this light travelling horizontally in the west toward the south like an airplane and then it began to descend diagonally (pictured here) for a long minute until it stopped.
I read that it is called a "fireball," but would love to know more.

Looked like a fireball to me! In a subsequent email, she sent additional images, and now... I think this might be a contrail, but I don't know. The additional images:

I had to reduce the size of the images to post them, but here's a crop from one of the full-sized images that is not reduced:

What is this, please? Contrail or fireball? Can anyone tell? TIA!!
