Very cool! Did anyone get to see the fireball above central Colorado yesterday?
Cloudbait Observatory in Guffey did. happy088.gif Was even caught on film by Tom Ashcraft in New Mexico.

The fairly low altitude and low velocity (16 km/s) mean this fireball might have produced meteorites. However, the brightness profile is suggestive of a meteor which simply burned up.
