That was a busted AI controlled aircraft. You didn't see any blip cause it was already destroyed/crashed itself by the time you saw the smoke trail. It happens all the time with flaming parts propelled by impact or explosions.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover The only two blips I saw were the "Angel of War" and the "Mig-19." The Mig was fine and the AR-19 is one of my old designs from 4+ years ago, so it doesn't have any of the gimmicks that newer planes would have, like tracers and such. It did appear to crash, so it was most likely something to do with it. But I'm not sure. The blip was too far to the left and the "thing" came from the right.
@DrakonDynamics
For the first one, maybe it got crit. damaged?
For the second one, look on the right side of the screen, there was another aircraft spawned in, no?
For the third one, this is probably the right answer if the other two fail lol
@TheUltimatePlaneLover As you saw, I turned on AA mode to see if it was an AI aircraft. It had no blip, as you also saw. And I didn't spawn in any additional aircraft besides the ones that spawn in regularly with the setting, which I have set to dense. So I'm completely in the dark. It's funny because I made a post about 3-4 years ago asking if UFOs were in the game since I kept seeing strange "things" then too. Hadn't seen anything weird until this lol.
A few theories:
-If it was a burning AI aircraft, maybe disableAircraftCollisions was set to false on all parts, resulting in the aircraft taking damage if any parts collided, and setting the plane on fire.
-If you spawned in an aircraft on aggressive mode, it fired its cannon first, what you saw was a tracer. If it didn't have cannons, I don't know what to do ;-;
-Could be an iteration of something I saw a while ago: two strange black jets in the distance, I hadn't spawned them in, they were just there, beyond range. They were the last thing I saw before my plane went into the water.
I was test flying my Nyx II when I saw whatever "that" was. My first guess was an AI aircraft on fire, but where would it have caught fire from? I still dunno what it was but maybe y'all can figure it out.
RIP PLANE, SMOKING PART REMAINS

@overlord5453 Considering it's Halloween I wouldn't be surprised lol

@TheUltimatePlaneLover it was the grim reaper and his wingman.
