This was unlike anything we've ever seen! I though it was something huge that crashed in the next town over. I got on the Internet as soon as we got home to try to figure out what we'd seen and my husband and I agree a fireball fits the definition. It was incredible!!!!!!!

I don't know how to describe the degree of the train. The tail was white with green. The fireball was red in the middle and green around the outside.
