Something special in the western sky tonight... I just don't know what it was!

Around 6pm tonight I was travelling home from Morisset, after a photoshoot and noticed what I thought was Venus slightly clouded over, but further observation proved it was not.

It appeared to be a point of light with 3 cloudy trails emanating from it. By the time I could get off the freeway and try to capture an image it was fading away, and camera wouldn't do what it was told to...

Was this a rocket launch or something similar?

Oh, was about 50 degrees altitude and an azimuth of around 260 degrees, To the left of Venus but slightly higher.
