| Remarks | I was driving southbound I-25 about 1 1/4 miles from harmony rd in Fort Collins, Colorado. The meteor was very fast in speed and duration, it also seemed to end at a lower altitude than the mountains which were also in view. The meteor appeared to be heading west towards Loveland, in the dark it looked to be near Devil's Backbone. |
