From Erie, PA I saw that same incredible pass from 06:15 to 06:17 UTC. Max altitude of 60 degrees at Az 30 from 40.072N, 80.143W. For me it was at least -3 magnitude with the plasma trail Ted mentioned BUT there were two bright objects following approximately 30 and 35 seconds behind the satellite estimated -2 magnitude. The two objects disintegrated just past max altitude at a few degrees above delta draconis. Raduga 33 kept on at the same intensity until I lost it behind the trees in the East. No other pieces noted although too bad the moon was full. My first decay, woo-hoo! That pass is burned in my skull, I'll never forget it. Amazing. Did anyone get any pics or video?
