This was truly the most incredible thing I have ever experienced in my whole life. I am wondering what would happen if this fireball were to hit the plane.

Remarks
Okay, first of all I saw this while flying on an airplane flying over the Black Sea from Warsaw to T\'bilisi. The meteor was almost directly next to the wing of the plane. The train was about 4-5 feet and it looked like a basketball in flames. The train was a glowy orange/yellowish and lasted for a few seconds before it just completely disappeared.
