| Remarks | The fireball itself was glowing orange and yellow and sparks were falling off of it. The train was narrow, maybe only 20 percent the width of the fireball. I was driving on I4 with lots of light pollution, so it must have been bright. The train started at the top of my windshield and went down to 10 degrees above the horizon. |
