have seen many meteor showers over Cape Cod but this was not a shower; this was one ball I say very clearly out my picture window. Lasted long enough for me to run to the window, clearly see the object slide across the ski directly in front of me and then fade away with a slight glow of the train behind it. Amazing!

train were flashes of gold, large at the front end, tailing off at the hind end. Looked like something on fire that dissipated.
