Duration 3s
Length 18°
Remarks The fireball was white at the center but the entire color was a very bright electric blue. It left an electric blue train, it looked like someone had cut a black canvas that was the sky and left the bright blue train behind. After the fireball faded, the train remained for a few seconds and then began to disintegrate into orange sparks, like fireworks, fragmenting then burning out. The sizzle was barely audible and only noticeable as the train burned up/faded. The quiet afterward helped me to recognize the sizzle had been there, it was that quiet.
