My friend Gonzalo Pereira, an astronomer in La Paz, Bolivia and the
curator of "Colecion de Meteoritos Blaine Reed" has sent me these
links to videos of something falling through the night sky in NW
Bolivia around April 2. The YouTube video appeared on the national
news. The TV station added the music for dramatic effect :>)

Kevin, others,
This is footage of the decay of a Russian Breeze-M tank, the jettisonable
doughnut-shaped fuel tank of the upper stage of a Proton rocket. It was actually
shot on April 23rd (not April 2), and the event was seen and filmed from several
places. Below is footage from Brasil:

It concerned Breeze-M tank 2001-014B, a left-over from the launch of the Russian
geostationary satellite EKRAN 21 launched on 7 April 2001.
