I spend about 1 hour every night looking at the sky and see meteors frequently. This was truly unique. Looked like a rocket type firework coming out of the clouds!

Remarks
Glowing train. Very Cold at night. Fireball came through the clouds and appeared hit the ground behind a hill in the direction I was looking. Train was as bright as the object in front. As bright as a trail made by a roman candle type firework. The train was almost a complete line with a slightly dim spot about mid point
