a close friend of mine witnessed the same phenomenon (sp?) that was reported in northern new mexico 250 miles south of albuquerque, in Las Cruces, he said it went from horizon to horizon in about 10-20 seconds.
i didn't witness it myself, my roommate saw everything light up (like daylight in his words) for a couple seconds, and he talked to his brother a few days later, his brother had the same experience, except that he saw a fireball streak across the sky in a straight line, all the way to the horizon
