Hi Dr. Cooke, 

I just received this email from a friend in New Mexico and thought you would be interested. He is a very credible observer.

Anyone interested in looking for meteorites, 

I just witnessed a spectacular daytime meteor. I am not sure who to 
report this to, if anyone knows who best to get this please forward it: 

At 18h36m Feb 4 2013 UT I was driving on due north when right out the 
front of my window a spectacular greenish to whitish fireball was 
traveling from about 40 degrees elevation heading straight north and 
broke into many pieces about 10 degrees above the northern horizon from 
my location at N 35.659231 W106.00305 and 6800 foot elevation. The 
meteor was very bright against a deep blue daytime sky. Brighter than a 
full moon, just under the brightness of the sun and leaving a visible 
ionized trail behind it. When it broke into pieces even the pieces were 
easily visible against the daytime sky! This will have produced quite a 
debris field to the north of Santa Fe, NM.
