Howdy, ladies and gents
Rob Matson has identified radar signatures of a possible new
meteorite fall in Colorado. A slow-moving meteor was reported there on
13 October (14 October with the UTC conversion) and recorded on two of
Chris Peterson's allsky cameras:

The local terrain conditions are very good for meteorite hunting.
