    A report from  NY state from another list.
    ======================================================
    While sitting around the fire in the backyard tonight I noticed what appeared to
    be a satellite reentry.  It happened about 2:53UT 27Jun04, observed from  76.9W
    42.1N.  It was first observed at about 225 az, 40 el, travelling due east.  Yhe
    speed was consistent with a rentry.  There were about 5 separate pieces, three
    fainter ones which lasted the longest finally disappearing at about 120 az, 30
    el.
    The brightest piece was lagging behind the three fianter pieces by about 5
    degrees,
    with a star like point trailing by a couple of degrees.  All  the objects passed
    a few
    degrees above the 1st quarter moon.
