Hi List,
I fully agree with Marco Langbroek's comments. It was no meteor.
The article written by Laura Bailey (Jan 4 2007) for THE COLORADOAN,
mentions that onlookers reported that it could be seen for about 30 seconds.
That is too short a time for space debris, unless if it was seen at a low

I'm confused by your post. What do you mean by 'space debris'? If the time
was too
short for space debris and it was also not a meteoroid then what are you
suggesting?

Hi Gary,
By space debris, I meant several pieces of a MAN MADE spacecraft,
desintegrating thru the Earth's atmosphere.
Sorry about the confusion.
As regarding time, a meteor's visibility
>>The visibility of a meteor, even a -14 mag fireball, (that is as bright
as
the full moon), will not last longer than a few seconds, at most.<<
This is correct for most meteors. However, some will last a bit longerup
into the tens of seconds. The longest lasting one that I'm aware o
Hi José-
There's no doubt that the vast majority of meteors last at most a few
seconds. But there is a class of fireballs which are usually seen in the
