I was driving home at 2:10AM and noticed a streaming light falling from the sky, coming from the north, falling southeast. It appeared to stop right in my line of sight with where the Pleadies were in the sky, and increased in intensity. During this time it increased in brightness and apparent size, the trail faded. As soon as the trail was gone, the object appeared to decrease in intensity and apparent size, and sped off to the east-southeast at a rapid pace, leaving a streaming trail behind. I work at the base in nearby Lemoore, and have been in the military over 20 years. This was unlike anything I have ever witnessed, and certainly was no type of aircraft I have ever seen.
