It was completely dark and I was facing away from it. It suddenly got so bright as if the sun has risen suddenly which is when I saw the fireball. I have never seen a fireball so bright!

Glowing blue train. Blue seemed to get clearer and lighter over time. Over time, it looked like the train was getting wider like the resulting smoke was spreading.
