It seemed close because it had so much detail. I feel I could see a actual ball of fire shoot across the sky. It was not over in a split second. You could have told somebody that was not paying attention to "look up" and they would have seen it without a doubt.

Remarks
The train was very solid and bright green. It seemed to split the sky into two halves. It stretched across the entire path that the fireball took. it remained in the entire sky until the fireball disappeared. Then trailed off.
