(meteorobs) 800 km / 475 mile distant fireball terminal flash possibility

[Thomas Ashcraft]

For what it is worth and not to get any hopes up:

On November 18, 2009 there was a super-size fireball over Utah.  
Remarkably, the over the horizon terminal burst flashes were visible and 
recorded from my observatory near Santa Fe, New Mexico which is over 475 
miles/800 kilometers away.  It is long shot but maybe the visible 
viewing area for the sat re-entry will be broader than predicted?

Flashing was also observed at Cloudbait Observatory and in Tucson, Arizona.

Good luck to all observers.
