Early this morning (2008.12.06 01:06 MST, 08:06 UT) I recorded what I 
believe is my brightest fireball ever. I'm currently estimating a magnitude 
of -18, some 100 times brighter than a full Moon. There appear to have been 
some thin clouds, so it was probably even brighter. I don't yet know if it's 
on other cameras. The terminal explosion appears to be fairly close to 
Colorado Springs.

I'll be doing more analysis on this, but the preliminary camera data and 
video is at http://www.cloudbait.com/meteor/data.php?recnum=24710
