(meteorobs) Nevada area fireball?

[Leo S]

Windows media player classic won't play it for me, so I can only pause 
it and try to flick between frames in the standard Windows media player. 
It does appear that this is a second meteoroid following close behind 
the first - the second is brightest just before the first is at it's 
brightest, as you pointed out. That would rule out internal lens 
reflections I think.

So it would appear to be an event where the meteoroid has split in two 
prior to impacting the atmosphere.
