It seemed to be moving slowly. I was in such amazement by what I saw, I couldn\'t formulate words to tell the rest of my family to look out the window! It was beautiful.

Remarks
The train was persistent from the first time I saw it until it went out of sight. It was seemingly attached to the bright green ball until it went out of my line of sight. I did not see smoke left behind once it disappeared.
