(meteorobs) Daytime fireball near Colorado Springs

[Chris Peterson]

I've received several reports (as have the local news stations) of a 
bright meteor observed northeast of Colorado Springs at ~12:45 PM MDT. 
Estimates place the duration ~3s, initial height as much as 45° and 
final height at or near the horizon (actual range is probably between 
those). Bright white extending to yellow then red, trail at least 5° 
long. No reports of a persistent train. Some thought more east, some 
more north.

If any of you folks who like playing with radar are interested, this one 
might be worth a closer look. It's not on any of my meteor cameras, and 
I haven't heard of anybody catching it on accidental video.
