This was Santa Anne in her glowing rednosed-reindeer-driven, ecologically
absolutely uncritical flying drop-top, infatigably anxious to provide all
her clients with heavenly objects in accurate SST (Santa Standard Time).

Meteor Brightens Night Sky
Fireball Spotted Across Front Range

DENVER -- Reports are coming in from all around Colorado about a bright
object in the sky on Thursday night.
Chris Peterson, astronomer at Cloudbait Observatory in Guffey, Colo., said
he is receiving credible reports of the object pointing to a spectacular
meteor display.
The celestial spectacle occurred at around 8:43 p.m. Peterson said is
happened about 60 to 70 degrees above the horizon, going from a west to
east direction. By the trajectory and perceived proximity, Peterson
estimated the meteor landed in the eastern part of the state.
Denver and Aurora emergency crews were sent on several wild goose chases
of the impact of the meteor. The reports ranged from Monaco Parkway and
Hampden Avenue in Denver, all the way to 32nd Avenue and Airport Way in
Aurora, to east of Denver International Airport.
Eyewitness reports have come trickling in from as far away as Fairplay in
Park County, to Estes Park, to Aspen Park in rural Jefferson County.
Denver International Airport spokesman Jeff Green said air traffic
controllers have reported heavy meteor activity the past few nights. Also
Green confirmed it was not an aircraft in distress that was streaking
across the sky.
If you saw a meteor in the Thursday night sky, report it to the All Sky
Network and the Cloudbait Observatory.
