>>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.
