The first thing that went through my mind was space junk as it appeared something bigger had broken up and it also appeared light as that last fragment fell towards the earth.
Incredible! I will definitely have a look on that other web site. Great photo too dug - it certainly looks like the same one.

Howdy. I did think of space junk too, just haven't seen anything burn that long. Was an awesome sight, have seen a bit over the years. By dugnsuz's photo, the trail is tapered so it was breaking up as it came in. Wow, the best naked eye random happening Ive ever seen! Was cool, will last on me for a while!
