Kissam of Pine Valley, UT, obtained this nice series of digital images, showing the color of the SRC in later parts of its trajectory. The slightly out-of-focus images prevent saturation and thus show the real color.

Earl Wilson of the China Lake Astronomical Society used a Sony F-707 at f2 and exposure time 30 seconds beginning at 0957:30 UT (15 January 2006) to obtain this streak photo. He was looking north from a
location about 20 miles south-east of Lone Pine, California - the trail is seen crossing from Cepheus into Cygnus and then dissappers behind the Inyo Mountains. The elevation of the reentry trail was about 4.56 degrees. The star just to the left of the beginning of the trail is SAO 32862, in Cepheus.
