It began at about 45-50 degrees of inclination and was headed straight downward toward the horizon in the south. At first it was bright white, then turned green, then blue, then orange with a large smokey plume the whole time it was visible .....once orange started it got really bright for an instant and was gone. (exploded possibly?) I've checked space weather, the all sky cams system and news online both yesterday and today but didn't find anything for Colorado or New Mexico. Did look somewhat similar to the one spotted in Spain the day before though. Anyone else see the multi colored fireball over southern Colorado yesterday morning? -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator www.ColoradoProspector.com IF YOU USE IT, THE GROUND PRODUCED IT!
