I texted my wife from work at 7:23am which would have meant I saw the fireball in the general timeframe of 7:00am on Fall Creek road near fall creek and 38th street. At first, I thought it was going to be a firework and it would explode because it seemed very low and bright.

Mainly a yellow and white train. I thought at first that it might be a firework as it seemed very low and bright against the tree line backdrop.
