I wish i had been ready to record, I had been out star gazing and was about to head inside. This one would have been nice to have caught on camera.

Remarks
The train was as large as the fireball for about 4 degrees. Then it started tapering down. It was orange in the beginning but mostly it was bluish white. It is the second largest seen in probably 20 years.
