Bill, it looks like Kevin and I may have caught the main mass on radar (in addition to the head echo and trail scatter). If that is correct, this was at least bus to airplane sized. I only see those doppler hits with large satellites.

Raw data for this event from the ASGARD software - 1st column is time in seconds from 1:57:00 UT, second column is azimuth from North, third is elevation, and 4th is magnitude. Camera is located at 105.5285 W, 32.9033 N, 2221 m elevation.
-3 from New Mexico, and that at an elevation of only 1 degree - this thing must have been absolutely brilliant in texas!
