This is the first time I have ever seen anything like this in the day time and so close. It appeared as if it was going hit the earth within maybe 10 miles from where I saw it. I realize this could have been an optical illusion. I wish I knew where it landed. This was truly an incredible sight for a novice like my self.

Remarks
First I saw a train of fire behind what looked like an orange yellow ball. The Train was glowing bright orange trimmed with bright yellow. It looked like fire in the sky. The train was steady till out of sight. I noticed no changes. It may have been higher in the sky than I reported.
