(meteorobs) Just witnessed a major fireball Oct 29, 2008 0128ut - Colorado

[Robert Lunsford]

Besides the Colorado event, the American Meteor Society has received many 
reports of two other major fireball reports on October 28th. The first 
fireball was sighted over the southeastern USA near 2000 EDT. The Colorado 
event was reported near 1930 MDT and the last event occurred over the 
mid-western states at 2130 CDT.

Is this a possible preview of more bright Taurid fireballs?

Individual reports are available on the AMS website at: 
http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball/fireball_log2008.html

See events #471, 473, and 474.

Clear Skies!
