Name | Charles B |
Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | At first I thought it was a small airplane crashing because it was red / orange (on fire?) and travelling on a descending path at a high rate of speed. The fireball disappeared out of my view as it travelled over to the other end of the building. I am standing at the security office at the front entrance of the building. It was shift change and the time I provided is fairly accurate. |

Duration | 20s |

Remarks | I don't know how to answer the previous question, but the train was about 100-200 feet long from my perspective, bright near the fireball but as the fireball disappeared, the train still remained like a jet trail, but it faded away over time. It was like watching a fireworks sparkler burning out. I think there was even a light amount of gray smoke in the trail, but the sky was dark, and it was hard to tell. |
