It was very thick, very bright and one of the thickest and brightest ones I have ever seen.

Delayed Sound
Observation
No
Remarks
I listened very carefully for a sound after and nothing. It didn\\\'t look like a firework- was either a meteor or comet- my guess a big meteor.
Persistent train
Observation
Yes
Duration
2s
Length
10°
Remarks
I didn't actually see where it first appeared so don't know the degree of when it actually first appeared but went down as far as I can see before buildings blocked the rest of my visual sight, sighted the meteor a little late and saw it for a good 2 seconds. Train just looked like glowing blue and white light that lasted for a second or 2 that I noticed.
Terminal flash
Observation
Unknown
Remarks
The fireball was big- bigger than Venus or Jupiter appear in the sky by roughly 10 times, it was very very bright and looked like the whole thing was a flying flash almost, but I am not sure if it had an explosion or not.
