Bob,

   I saw the fireball as I was driving home that night,
about 30 miles northwest of Park Forest. There was only 1
fireball. I did see 3 "fragments" come off of the main body
when it appeared, but these were small compared to the
object and had obviously just been part of it. There wasn't
a second fireball. If you are referring to the "second"
fireball that was shown just before the video ended back at
the shot of the newscasters, that was a repeat of the first
part of the video.
