    Hi all,
    I just got this from a Heavens-Above user, and wonder if it has any 
    connection with recent reports of a reentry/meteor ? I cannot read the 
    AOL report either.

    Hello Chris,
    
    Sorry to bother you...  I read through your FAQ and could not find the 
    answer to my question:
    
    On Oct 13 at 5:30 AM (PST) I observed what I believe to be burning space 
    junk re-entering the atmosphere.  It travelled from N to S slower than a 
    meteorite and faster than a satellite.  I have seen an iridium flare 
    before and am certain it was not one as it was travelling far too fast. 
    Do you know if it is possible to confirm what I saw?  It was quite low in 
    the sky (I'm in Vancouver, BC).
    
    thanks,
    
    Bill Kingsland
