I can verify this sighting. Myself and a friend were outside and saw this object as described above. I can add to the description by saying that the object broke apart into three to five pieces about ten seconds after it appeared. My vantage point was from Azle.
I can also verify this sighting, from a campground outside of Moses Lake, Washington state. Very long duration - long enough for a friend to see it, bring it to my attention, for me to say "wow" and bring it to the attention of another friend. Maybe 8 or 10 seconds. It was bright, had a long smoke trail, and broke apart into several pieces over the horizon as mentioned by the previous commenter.
