DURANGO - Dozens of people say they saw a meteor streak across
the Front Range Sunday night.

Some witnesses described it as a fireball the size of a basketball
with a 500-foot green and orange tail. It was reported around 7:20 p.m.

Residents in Wyoming and Utah also saw the meteor race across the sky.
The San Juan County Sheriff's Office in southeastern Utah received
two reports of the fireball being seen. One was from a group of
people at a cabin 10 miles west of Blanding, where they thought it
might have been a distress flare.

The other sighting was north of Blanding.

The Denver Museum of Nature and Science is interested in talking to
anyone who witnessed the event. You can fill out a report by
