Observer
Name Michael J
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Both my wife and I saw it. From our position the fireball and train followed a steep descending path roughly in line with the stars of the Big Dipper. The train was visible from the top right star of the Big Dipper down to the bottom left star on the "handle" of the Big Dipper. Although the colour was light blue it was the brightest light I have ever seen in the sky, except for the sun of course.
