| Remarks | I don't know if it had a train visible after the fireball disappeared (it passed behind some trees in my line of sight). However, the tail while the fireball persisted was approximately 3-4x the width of the main body, which itself was quite wide (perhaps as wide as a finger held at arms length at my vantage point). |
