I was with two friends and there was enough time for me to tap them both and they both saw the tail end of the fireball. It was so bright and lasted what seemed like a very long time (7 or so seconds). Very amazing!!

Remarks
There was a glowing train that was quite bright at first. It glowed green like the the fireball. As the fireball faded the trial did as well. It seems to me the trail turned into a couple of bright splotches as it quickly faded away.
