There was a bright daylight fireball over northeast Colorado today (20 June) at about 12:40 PM MDT. I have many reports from Colorado, as well as Wyoming, Nebraska, and New Mexico. I've talked to a number of news organizations and tried to give them accurate info... it's not easy. I didn't talk to Fox.

The fireball was a couple hundred miles from the Springer fire. Obviously, a meteor isn't any threat to airplanes, but they operate as they operate.

There appears to be no video, no radar, and no reports of sonics for this event.

List,

Just now on the top-of-the-hour 8pm pacific-time headline Fox radio I
heard, as best as I can re-quote,

"Fire-fighting planes in Colorado's Fort Collin's major fire are
grounded due to what's being reported as a meteor shower.."

Hmmmm...that's got to be a long event....what does everyone thing of
this???
