Details:
Found a good place with clear skies 3 hours from home that happened to have been on fire during the day. The meteors didn't show up this night, but a very crazy satellite dumping of something did. We looked up from our phones and saw a big bright white cloud going from horizon to zenith and thought we missed a huge fireball of epic proportions somehow. We then looked at our star trail frames and see it came from a satellite. Couple images here. 10 minutes apart.

I believe this is the debris trail from the comet. Several of us saw it from Northern CA at 12:32 to 12:38 PDT.
