>>Finally, a more general question for the list - were there any expected
(or observed)
manmade object reentries during the period when Jim and his son saw this -
August
15, 8:20pm local time? If so, it would make it much more likely that Jim and
his son
got to see something wonderful - a reentry trail - even if it wasn't a true
meteor. :)<<
Depending upon how far in the sky did the object travel..in this case, how
long was the trail? If a short train, highly unlikely a reentry trail of any
manmade objects. If very long...that is across most of the sky, a good chance
of a reentry or aircraft contrail.
