Location: Edmonton, Alberta

Heading northbound on Highway 2

Context: This was taken 15 minutes north of Edmonton, Alberta. I thought it was a meteor but realized it was odd. The object was travelling across the sky for about 30-40 seconds until it was out of view of my car. Meteors typically travel and burn out pretty quickly. Maybe it was a comet because of the contrail but comets usually stay in the sky for a few days before slowly travelling out. This object looked to be in the atmosphere and heading steadily southeast. It didn't look like a plane or satellite either. Also it couldn't be a crashing satellite because they wouldn't crash them over land and in populated areas. I still don't know what it could of been but yeah. It was pretty bright and easy to see also.
