This was UNBELIEVABLE - at any moment after I first saw the 'meteor' I thought it would disappear/flicker out - instead it just kept blazing this trail across the sky, moving from south to north - it really appeared to be relatively low in the sky - as it moved further away from me to the north it seemed to be arcing downward toward the southwest Denver metro area.
