a fireball went straight down behind mtns. and ended in a bright flash.
I was driving west bound on I-80 at MM172 39 miles west of Rawlins,WY when looking out of my left side window a fireball appeared out of nowhere. It fell straight down and went behind the mountains. About a half a second later it flashed like it exploded.
