***** A freind of mine was traveling back to CA from the east coast at about this date and time. He was aboard a commercial flight when he noticed some sort of meteor. His discription of the event was very similar to the one recently posted. He started asking around and discovered that a Russian rocket had been launched and that the fireball he saw was probably one of its booster stages falling back into the atmosphere. He tried to get his camera out to get a shot, but it had dissipated too quickly. Hope this eases your curiosity! megatest!phil Megatest Corp. 880 Fox Lane San Jose, CA, 95131
