Analysis and Conclusions: The extremely smail size, and the smoke trail
is typical of some meteors, especiely daylicht meteors. The local Sheriffs is typical of some meteors, especiely daylicht meteors. The local Sheriffs office
conducted an investigation and could not find any trace of the object.This

fell.
