Fireball baffles residents Durango Herald (Colorado) November 29, 2002 A mysterious light, which may have been a meteorite, blazed across the sky in Durango on Thursday night. John Montle, 70, who lives north of Durango near Durango Mountain Resort, said he was driving home from Durango, when a flaming fireball shot vertically from the sky between 6:15 p.m. and 6:20 p.m. The light was also witnessed at The Durango Herald. "It looked like it was going to hit Dalton Ranch," Montle said. "At first I thought it was a plane burning up and coming down." Montle was on U.S. Highway 550 near the Val-Air Gliderport, a few miles north of Durango. An amateur astronomer, Montle said he believed the light was a meteorite because the flame moved extremely fast, turned green and appeared to break apart in the sky. But he added, "I've seen a lot of meteorites, but I have not seen anything like this." The National Weather Service in Grand Junction had received two calls asking about a bright light in the sky, one from Garfield County, Colo., and the other from Utah, said Jim Daniels, a meteorologist. But the National Weather Service does not track or carry information on such accounts. ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
