Fireball October 20th


This event was witnessed over Colorado on October 20th at 5:57 AM MDT. The low speed and reported orange color suggest this may have been reentering space debris, although no candidate object is immediately obvious.

The duration of the event was over 20 seconds, and some debris can be seen trailing the head. The path began over western Colorado and ended over south central Colorado.

This image is from the Cloudbait camera. I anticipate having additional camera information within a few days. The large dropout in the middle occurred because of the limited buffer size of the camera, which had to stop collecting data briefly after 10 seconds to write it to disk.
