 I have it on tape.  The same footage was played on the local stations
(CNN affiliates), one played it back in slow-motion.  One station had
interviews with witnesses.  There was also a report of a "boom".

 There was a mysterious morning object a few days before the Leonid max,

I saw this report on sci.astro.amateur:

Is there any correlation?  I.e., these big meteors are related?
