AMAZING. I have never seen one so large and up close. Usually it’s could be a tiny speck of light in the sky not enough to report but this one was absolutely without a doubt a meteor.

Remarks
This absolutely came out of no where. We were on EB. I94 passing through Chelsea. Heading towards Ann Arbor. The train was very longer than I have ever seen. I don’t know if it was the horizon but I am amazed how large it appeared. It was a large fire ball in the sky it was mostly white with a tinge of yellow and maybe orange. But it mostly looked like a white ball falling with an outline. It lasted maybe 2-3 seconds at best.
