| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Michael V |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My observation may be part of the ones observed in Central Colorado, but mine was in Southern Wyoming. The object appeared about 200 yards from me, it was very bright blue, V-shaped, and headed straight down; it was already close to the horizon when I saw it, and my perception was that it came down just behind a hill near me; if it was behind the hill about 200 yards from me, then I would estimate the v-shaped blue flame as about 5 feet in width. Given the speed I thought I would see dust or smoke, but did not observe any in the one minute after impact that I looked for it. I did not note the mile marker, as at the time I did not know what i had seen, but arriving in Denver this afternoon and listening to NPR i learned of the meteorite sightings in Colorado. |
