"Virginia Boom" update

Following the strange things falling from the sky meme, from Whitley Strieber's Unknown Country:

In Firefox News, Tracy Morris quotes Geoff Chester, of the US Naval Observatory, as saying that this was probably part of the booster rocket from the Soyuz space station falling to earth.

But Stefan Bocchino, of the USAF Joint Space Operations Center, contradicted that and said in an e-mail to WTOP radio in Virgina that the bright light was NOT the result of a man made object.
