[meteorite-list] El Paso Lights

[Mark Hammergren]

I'd say you've hit the nail on the head, Count. El Paso's "Amigo Airsho" was going on during Oct. 16 and 17. The Army's Golden Knights parachute team were featured performers. 

Compare this video of another of their nighttime performances with the footage of the "El Paso lights":

No meteorites from these fireballs... thankfully!
