I've posted an update at
http://www.cloudbait.com/science/fireball20061001.html .

This was a remarkable event, similar in many respects to Peekskill. Be
sure to check out the Guffey School video in the link above- it clearly
shows the initial meteor breaking up into a string of individual meteors
that slowly pull apart. I've never seen anything like it. Given the very
shallow entry and low speed (~17 km/s) this is a good candidate for
producing meteorites. The fragmentation zone extends from about Alamosa
to Colorado Springs!
