Did any list members see the daylight fireball reported today? Patrick, I heard you and a Stansbury resident on KSL but didn't catch if you yourself saw it... No, I didn't see it. It came down just after I went to bed. I didn't know about it until various media started calling about 4 hours later.
However Steven Christiansen reported: Object: Meteorite Color: Changing color, white to yellow to greenish/blue Magnitude: About -4.5 (or brighter) Time of Observation: 6:43 AM (MST), Friday December 12, 2006 Length of Observation: About 5 seconds (total time from appearance to disappearance) Direction: Moving from NW to SE Other interesting features: long, "flickering" tail about 5 to 10 times the length of the meteorite itself.
Is this the same one that was reported seen over Colorado? That's my understanding.
