Centennial, Colorado Meteor 2:50 a.m. 7OCT2011
I`m in centennial colorado, just south of denver. about 2:53 a.m. this morning i observed a huge fireball. its course was from the southwest to the north east. im not sure how long it lasted, as it was present before i spotted it. i suspect it lasted about 5 seconds for the brief time i saw it. it seemed quite large. it appeared to have structure to it. it almost looked like a flying bus. it seemed to have metal posts or beams within its mass. it was disintegrating as it flew along. i suspected it was space junk of some sort. im curious if some fragment of it landed somewhere. thanks, Marilee

Thank you Marilee!

Denver, Colorado
We saw the same Denver meteor. Our location is approximately downtown Denver and it was visible north of us. From our perspective it was heading west to east, very orange with quite a long tail, meteor very bright and large. It seemed to last at least 6 seconds from what we saw. Very cool! Are there any pictures that you know of? And please let me know if there's any other info you would want, I'll try my best to answer your questions.Thanks -Joe Pucillo

Thank you Joe!
