Gravy Boat ~ I was heading due west when I saw this, and it was slightly to my left, or roughly west southwest. Whatever it was it was far away. I just bookmarked the link you provided, and I'll keep checking to see if anything shows up. Thanks!
Mac - although it was a bit slower than the meteorites I'm accustomed to seeing race across the sky, it definitely was still too fast to be anything attached to a parachute. It was also different because it left that smoke trail behind it, but I suppose that could simply be a result of being close enough to the earth to actually be visible.
SS - you didn't call and invite me, so I didn't stop and have any beverages after work!
Oh and one more thing for Gravy ... a huge greenish fireball seen from atop the boathouse in the early 80's huh? Are you sure it wasn't Fred performing some pyrotechnic extravaganza???
