The head of the meteor was bright white. The train was very long; I\'d estimate that it was around fifty times as long as the head. The train was orange and included several bright white objects. Orange \'sparks\' came from it. It had the appearence of a streak of flame. Its trajectory was horizontal rather than arced, much the same as a low aeroplane.
