Tony Phillips just forwarded a report of the re-entry as seen
from Sioux Falls, South Dakota:

That one also has a time span of less than 30 seconds to travel
from SSE to east, about 20-30 degrees above the horizon before
they simply disappeared.  Pieces of this one must have made it
to Minnesota.  This was a truly incredible spectacle of dozens
of parallel fireballs seen from El Paso, Texas, to SE South 
Dakota (some sort of record?).  

Correction to my previous message, in the mention of the Space
Shuttle, I wrote:  "above 30 degrees above the horizon".  That
should have been "about 30 degrees" instead of "above 30 
degrees".
