Sorry to disturb Mike Farmer, who's probably still in the wrong place, but I
recorded my brightest ever fireball early this morning. I estimate it was
magnitude -18, at least 100 times brighter than the full Moon. It exploded
near Colorado Springs. I don't have much information yet, but the raw
information and video is at
http://www.cloudbait.com/meteor/data.php?recnum=24710 . It was a dark night;
all the sky lighting and horizon silhouettes are caused by the meteor
exploding.
