trajectory was straight down and not on an angle or across the sky. The falling of the object resembled a flair and brighter than a flair. Came slowly down lasting a max of 3-3.5 seconds. I am in PA, but i saw on the news a video of the exact same thing i saw but that video was taken in NJ.

It was a glowing train. It wasn't coming down fast(lasted a total of 3 sec) and left a bright streak for half a second or less. Came straight down not sideways or on an angle at all. was very bright and then at 2.5 seconds the object left the glowing train and then a spark fell to the ground. Saw it from my apartment window. highly resembled a flair falling from the sky.
