It was not from a side angle that we saw this. It appeared to be coming toward us, there was not a visible train until we changed angles. When it first appeared, we were directly facing the incoming fireball.

It seemed to be a glowing smoke, looked a bit hazy but we could see it through the clouds.
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
It was more like a glow, like a fire would do but not flickering. It was the color of a warm street light. The glow pulsated and disappeared several times over- it returned for several seconds (est. 15 or so seconds of this)
