Persistent train
Observation Yes
Duration 5s
Length -1°
Remarks The train went all the way across the sky to the point that I thought it was an airplane for a minute. There was a glowing train and smoke after that. It got bright white and broke into smaller white bits like a sparkler. It was just after sunset so the sky was still quite bright with color just before dusk. I\\\'ve never seen a shooting star (fireball) in such a bright sky. Amazing!
Terminal flash

Remarks I described it as looking like a bright sparkler. It burst into pieces and then ended two seconds later maybe
