From East Central Illinois:  (Urbana)

I believe that this may have been what my wife saw as she was driving
up to pick me up from work.  She was looking due West and saw a set of
objects falling from the sky that left greenish tails that remained for
about half a minute.  There was a cluster of objects more or less
falling together (heading north) with the last appearing being the
brightest and leaving the most persistant tail.

This was all very visible at around 7: or 8: PM local time in fairly
bright city lights.  I believe that this happened Friday night the
20th.
