Any de-orbit/decay expected tonight Sep 30, 2004 over Eastern North America?

Perhaps there is a swarm in orbit-- both fireballs were very similar in 
look and trajectory.
 
Interesting greenish color, low incandescant fireballs tonight at 8:21 
and 8:27 Observed along Rt 209 in Carbon County Pennsylvania.   They 
were slow moving, falling east to west.  The first one glowed on two 
spots on the body itself after the fireball extinguished. This glow 
remained visible for almost as long as the fireball portion of flight.  
The observations were about 4-5 miles apart along the east west 
roadway.  Didn't hear any sonic booms.

(yeah ok ok I'll get around to a fireball report in time)  I am 
announcing this now in the event that there is a stream and someone else 
gets to checkout their section of the sky.

Regards,
Elton
