Central, PA. Most coming from the North with varying speeds and brightness. 
3 were observed following each other with an interval of about 4 seconds.
All
3 were visible at the same time. No sound accompanied. Back out for more

Just caught the end of a report on the nightly TV news here in Dallas, 
TX......

There was a major fireball that came out of the west, at approximately 18:00

hours local time this evening.   THERE IS VIDEO of the final few seconds of 
the object, caught by an amateur.   It closely resembles Peekskill, in that 
there were at least four distinct pieces, each trailing smaller pieces 
behind.   Reports were that it was multi-colored.   

The news was clear to point out that it (almost certainly) could not have 
been a Leonid, due to both the time it occurred, and the fac that it came
out 
of the West.  They offered the possibilities that it may have been
reentering 
space debris or a satellite, or "just" a non-Leonid meteorite.
