After finding this site and reporting my first meteor I was ready this time. I made good mental notes about appearance and location. I hope some other people were fortunate enough to see this also as it was probably the second most spectacular one I've seen.

Remarks
this caught my eye and I saw the train glowing with the fire ball in front like a single object almost and they both disappeared after about a second. Very bright with a white core surrounded by a very light bluish greenish outer and train.
