2nd fireball I have seen this week while walking at night. Information regarding angles may not be the most accurate but I tried. Time and place should be relatively accurate. Had a very bright trail!

Remarks
Glowing train that disappeared at a similar rate to the fireball itself. It looked like it was broken up, very close to the surface above me.
