| Remarks | I was on a road trip and was driving into Colorado Springs from Canon City. The meteor was by far the brightest one I have ever seen. It appeared for about 1.5-2 seconds very bright, appeared to go out very briefly, then light up again to the same brightness for about another 1.5-2 seconds, then go out again briefly, then burned much less for a half a second or so and fizzled out completely. |
