[meteorite-list] Ft. Collins, CO meteor 19OCT2011

[Chris Peterson]

I have a very bright event from the camera at the Denver Museum of 
Nature and Science. It was at 2011-10-19 02:25:00 MDT, and right on the 
horizon at an azimuth of 58°, nearly as bright as the Moon. Using a 
guess/estimate for height suggests the meteor was over the Middle of 
Nowhere, Nebraska, roughly between Denver and Sioux Falls, SD.

Several witnesses report fragmentation.  There is a good chance that the KC Airport Downtown has a video as well. Manitoba Allsky maybe caught it?   I haven`t checked with Chris Peterson but there is a chance he captured it as well?
