| Remarks | There were 4 different sections to this meteorite, the first section, a big part and the other 3 small parts which presumably was all one big meteorite/debre before it entered the earths atmosphere. All parts were on fire and it left a blazing glow in the sky for about 20 seconds, it slowly got lower and shorter but using my fingers i measured it to be about 5/6 inch in the sky. The train was all flames and small parts of hot debree, when the meteorite extinguished in mid air, the parts of debree were glowing orange. |

| Remarks | I myself did not see the flash as it entered the atmosphere but my sister said she saw a big bright white/yellow/orange flash and a giant orange fire ball enter the sky and start gliding through the sky on fire. |
