I just wanted to report this siting because I looked at the local news sites and no one had reported on it within 30 minutes after I had seen it while running. So I don\'t know if it was for sure a meteor, but it was traveling faster than any aviation equipment I\'ve seen in my life. And I was in the military and have seen some fast planes.

Glowing train but did not trail too far behind the meteor and left no smoke. It remained constant and was at cloud level until it went over the sierra mountains from where I was in Reno,NV
