We witnessed the train so vividly at first off the horizon we thought it was a rocket launch from Southern California but quickly became evident that it was a meteor breaking apart the most beautiful thing that incited fear in us because we thought there was a very strong chance of impact seemingly close. It remained in a horizontal pattern until it eventually moved north east of us and burned up in our vision over Carson

A massive grouping at once as it fragmented it left a long streak longer than anything I’ve ever witnessed moved through the sky very slowly indicating that it was a large and eventually broke apart completely burning up before impacting earth looks like in central Nevada or as far as Utah
