Concurrent Sound
Observation
Yes
Remarks
Sounded sort of like when an airplane is approaching, a very consistent and unwavering whoosh. I waited a bit after to see if I would hear any delayed noise and didn’t for the small time I was out there. Not sure if the consistent whoosh was related to this or not though because I do live approx 10-15 miles or so from an airport

It was nose of a tail following the flow, about 10-15x the length but tapering off, no smoke trail but I didn’t think to look for one
