Anyway, just as a warning tale: here in the Netherlands two -5 range sporadic 
meteoric fireballs were seen (and photographed by the all-sky network) around 
the last UARS passage over our country, one of them (01:32:44 UTC, -5 seen by me 
personally) just 5 minutes before the pass, the other (01:54:14 UTC) 17 minutes 
after the pass.

Goes to show that not every fireball phenomena coinciding closely to UARS pass 
times of last night need be UARS. Be carefull there.
