It was very foggy. The light had caught my eye as if lightning. It was brighter then lightning and lasted longer, I turned to look at it and that's when I saw it. The train may have been out longer but I was driving and it got foggier as I drove. When I looked that way again I no longer saw it.

It was smoke trail. Almost the length of the meteor. Wider then the meteor. It faded with time till it had disappeared.
