Fireball sighted in a northerly direction from near Longmont, Colorado. (Clicking "...examples gives "Not Found")
I was northbound on I-25 and was approximately at milepost 234 ( north of Exit 232 to Erie). The fireball was green and was probably a meteorite. It was at a heading of approximately 350 degrees. It descended vertically to less than 5 degrees above the horizon. The topography is relatively flat at that location and continuing north into Wyoming. I noted some landmarks, so the accuracy of these data could be improved if necessary, especiially if triangulation is used. I cannot estimate my distance from the object. (Note: I was unable to send this report from Netscape 4.5)
