I was driving my significant other to work and it lit up the sky. Intense massive train of fire behind it, as soon as the train mostly died out the meteor got incredibly bright and a very pronounced neon blue. The largest and most beautiful atmospheric entry I've ever seen. I am very disappointed that I lost it after a few moment behind trees and houses (this was in the middle of a well lit reasonably sized city)

Remarks
Intense bright orange glowing train with Maybe a glitter effect. Then it diminished quickly into almost nothing. Then the meteor got significantly brighter vibrant blue. It was gorgeous and huge but lost it behind trees and homes.
