I\'ve seen meteors before driving home. Previously I would describe them as if someone had taken a writing pen and streaked the sky. In comparison this would have been like someone taking a sharpie and smudging a huge line across the sky. It was so large and bright we were almost afraid it was a plane fall from the sky except for the color and the arc.

It was a glowing train. The fireball was very distinct. The center looked bright (white) and the edges and train were very green with a very small bluish tint
