Questions from Readers:

1) "Have there been any recent reports of a bolide meteor that would have been seen in Denver, NE Colorado, SE Wyoming and SW Nebraska around 6 pm local time (Mountain Daylight Time) on October 28th? Some sheriff departments in the region got reports of a green flash in the sky around that time." (contact info)

2) "My children and I saw something large and bright in the eastern sky this morning about 8:15-8:20 mountain standard time this morning (date not specified; I received this email at 11pm 4NOV). We live in Roy, Utah, just North of Salt lake City." (contact info)  

3) "I saw on Nov. 1st at 8:20 PM a very large, orange fireball in northeast Michigan (aka The Thumb). It was very short in duration and led me to believe something had exploded in the sky. I've always thought of meteors as quick little streaks of light so I'm not entirely sure that I in fact saw a meteor. This was such an oddity that I called the local 911 dispatch to report it (thinking something bad had happened to an aircraft). Thanks. -Patrick" (contact info)
