Based on data from three allsky cameras, this meteor was traveling on a 
heading of 260° about 30 km south of Grand Junction, CO. Its ground path 
was at least 86 km, its average speed was 18 km/s, and it was very 
shallow (~6°), burning from a height of 54 km to a height of 45 km over 
the recorded path. It terminated over the CO-UT border. It was a good 
candidate for a meteorite producer, but anything that dropped is going 
to be in hard terrain.
