The trouble was reported here at FreeRepublic at 9:03 from a freeper from las Vegas.

It wasnt a glow that spread back like a comet but it must have been "on fire" because it was bright and big.

That thread is history of this tragedy in live time as it happend. From my travelers on the net since I find no one else with this information. Add this account from Cal and the problem looks to me to of started way before Texas. Like it was on fire as it came in.

No matter what, something was wrong over California and a freeper saw it on fire over Las Vegas. What ever happend, if it just keep burning on re entry but made it to Teaxs where it just exploded or something else. I don't know. But at 9:03 eastern thread time here something was already wrong.
