Remarks
It was a glowing train at first and then more of a smoke trail. Then it quit and looked like it jumped and then glowed and died as it fell to earth. It was like it was a plane on fire fling fast and burning and then quit and the entered lower and died as it fell closer to the earth. I am guessing it was not in Illinois?!
