| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | At first, I heard a muffled, distant-sounding, pop crackling sound. I heard what sounded like a crackle as if somebody had shot off a flare gun or a small firework somewhere in the vicinity. then a couple of minutes later myself and, those witnessing the event with me, heard what sounded like a sonic boom or possibly fireworks. |

| Observation | Unknown |
| Duration | -1s |
| Length | 25° |
| Remarks | The train looked like sparks... But, there were much bigger pieces of it, in the train, too. There were *definitely* large chunks breaking off of it as it went on, though. As well as quite a few smaller sparks. Still, all the pieces were the same colors as the \"main\" body of the fireball: mostly white, except on the edges, where it looked more red/yellow/orange. |
