Earlier this year, I was walking home with my daughter, when we heard a plane overhead.Not unusual,as we have an airport,and we are in the flight path of planes from Toronto to Montreal.
I always look up when I hear a plane or helicopter..not sure why..I just do.
Anyhow..this was an Air Canada Jet (Maple leaf on the tail).I watched it for a few seconds, then I see this long white cylinder moving away from the side of the plane.I thought a piece broke away, but it wasn't falling..it was floating sideways away from the plane.It was a long white cylinder.Large in comparison to the plane..I would say approx.1/3 the length of the jet.
I just watched it float across the sky until it disappeared behind a cloud cover.
Have never seen one before or since.But I always look up.
My daughter also saw it.
