Spectacular! The re-entry path was only a little more than one degree below Polaris at 5:30:18 CDT (10:30:18 UT). This was definitely later and higher than the NASA prediction. The magnitude of the orange fireball seemed to be slightly fainter than Jupiter, so I think -2.0 is a good estimate. A double sonic boom was clearly heard 6 minutes, 32 seconds after passage below Polaris. The ion trail was visible in binoculars for over 3 1/2 minutes after passage below Polaris and it appeared to drift from the east to the west at a rate of about one degree per minute.
