Thanks. And the Peekskill Meteor (1992) came in after dark and when it became a meteorite (actually more than one, but I don't think more than the one piece was ever identified) was still in the area of 12 pounds I think. It was a Friday night and there were quite a number of East Coast high school teams playing football. So there's some good VHS footage of the fireball from towns along the trajectory. I checked just one of these old links I've got saved; also had a couple mpg files. Somewhere I thought I had a movie file of the Baker footage, oh well...

There's been a lot of study of the Teton fireball. I think (purely from memory) estimates of the size range from 30-100 meters. It did what the worst-case scenarios of the ballistic re-entrys for manned missions talked about -- it skipped out of the atmosphere.
