Remarks you could actually see the round ball in the center, it glowed with a blue yellow light. The train was miles long if I had to calculate it. It seemed like it was just a little ways in the air. It had to be thousands of feet up though. It flew directly over head from East To West. The train was blue closer to the object, then turned orange to yellow . You could see the smoke trail it left. I have been a stargazer for years and have seen plenty of meteor showers. I have never seen anything like this in my life. It was amazing. We didn\'t know there was a site to report meteors. My friend and I witnessed it.
