We see a lot of stuff that is hard to explain and could be some kind of military exercises or something.
The other week though, i was enroute from KTUL to KJFK at night and about one hour from JFK we saw something really really weird, at our 12 o'clock, a big streak of bright white light, we were at 41000' and the streak was way higher then us but straight ahead, it looked like some bright white fireworks!! and it was pretty big, talked to ATc, and one Southwest plane responded they saw it too.
it just "hung" there for a little bit and seemed to be burning bright white, after that it seemed to accelerate and was out of sight in a second or 2. There stayed a huge puff of smoke behind and we passed it 15 minutes later (underneath it) and that made it 125 nm ahead of us when we saw it.
Next day on the news: Old russian boosterrocket entered the upper-atmosphere and bounced off back into space.
Tell you!! but we see a lot weird stuff, daytime AND nighttime.
