I have never seen a blue/green falling star before, nor have I ever seen one fall almost straight down out of the sky like that and then vanish just 2 degrees before the horizon. It was amazing and beautiful!

It was a long glowing trail behind the fireball, that was traveling almost straight down from the sky. The train vanished just a fraction of a second after the fireball did.
