(meteorobs) Texas Fireball

[Pat Branch]

I would disagree that this is a natural fireball, I think it is part of 
the satellite. There have been a rash of sightings of meteors within 
about 200 miles of Dallas including some in my neighborhood. This 
matches the Air Force plots I saw that showed lots of pieces hitting 
this area (and up thru the US to Nebraska.
Both meteors and manmade objects at this low an altitude would have 
roughly the same terminal velocity Mass*(Gravity-Drag).
Since these were about 11am this morning I suspect there will not be a 
large increase tonight...but it does temp me!
Additional sightings were reported (but same Austin Video) although 
they showed a couple more videos on the TV at:
