Dirk of Tokyo has posted an image of this event. Scroll down a bit. This 
image is scaled and contains a slightly enlarged & brightened insert to 
illustrate what is clearly shown in Sentinels Quicktime movie. The insert 
objects that are pointed to were not in a trailing position during the 
Fireball passage, appearing to the sides.  One in particular preceeded the 
core head. None are Stars. They were a brief point flare in the movie, much 
brighter than my stars are even in the composite. It suggests fragmentation 
may have occured.

Movie and images sent to Eric at meteoritesusa.com for their use. I do not 
know if the movie will be hosted at his site. If it is, I would suggest 
doubling the movie size during playback for better detail if it is possible.
