>>Ok, yea yea yea...it me, Joel. Time to quit the fun and games and talk
 serious here. While I was going for a walk tonight, here in Amarillo, TX,
 ABOUT 5:40 CDT, in the south sky I saw a BIG ASS FIREBALL, the sun hadn't
 set yet and there was still a large amount of sunlight. It was changing
 colors from Green to white, and here is the coolest part, I saw it dropping
 pieces, much like the Peekskill fireball. This is the first fireball like
 this I have ever seen, nothing like a "shooting star". I followed it across
 the sky, it was headed, what looked like S to SW. Anyone else see this?

>From your description, it sounds like a piece of re entering space debris or
satellite.
