Hi Randy, The timing of the observation is consistent with the Utah/Nevada bolide (7:07 UT = 00:07 MST = 23:07 PST). This is turning out to be quite a fall, visible from a very wide area: Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, southern Idaho, and eastern California. I expect the fall location will turn out to be in either very western central Utah, or eastern central Nevada (I'm leaning a little more toward eastern Nevada based on the low elevation angle as seen from Salt Lake City).
