| Remarks | The fireball was golden... it was the train that was golden with a thin outline of green. It was so bright, very low, and so close to us. I was glad my son was with me... it was for real. I do not know this degree stuff, but I do interior design, so I would say it was about 3 ft long and 6-8 in wide. |
