Remarks
Had exact appearance of space shuttle disaster entering atmosphere. Had several trains at different brightness as if pieces were breaking off as it descended. It was quite spectacular and fairly long lived. Traveled from upper right to lower left at a very steep angle, almost straight down. First one me and wife have seen.
