Fort Collins, CO bright white light 6:50 pm 22FEB2011
I saw a bright white light slowly trailing over the tree tops while driving eastbound on Prospect Road at the intersection of Shields in Fort Collins on Tuesday around 6:50 PM. It looked like a bottle rocket firecracker that never sparked at the end, but the light was very bright and slow. It was dusk and I could see clouds above it. It looked very close and low. I wish it would have looked colorful for me too, but the white was awesome! - Alicia

Greeley, CO sighting 5:45pm 2-22-11
Driving east bound on Hwy 34 towards Greeley, CO, between County road 17 and 19. At around 5:45 pm on 02/22/11 I saw a small bright white light pass from my upper left windshield corner down to the lower right. It seemed to burn out as it approached the horizon. Seemed small and close by as if it touched down only a few hundred yards away in the field to the southeast of me. No sign of smoke or dust off the ground. Very bright and white considering it was not quite sunset.

Windsor, Colorado at 5:50 pm
From Windsor, Colorado at 5:50 pm driving east on Highway 74 (Harmony Road) and County Road 15 saw a white light from the left corner of my windshield, passed in front of my car and had a blue/white tail, flashed and then seemed to burn out before hitting the ground. Glad to know that I wasn't the only one that saw this!

Boulder, CO
From downtown Boulder, I saw the green/blue tail last for about 3 seconds and then fizzle out into orange sparks. My mom saw it at the same time and it was almost unbeleiveable until we looked to each other for confirmation. From where I was, the tail was about 3-4 inches long in the sky...it must have been huge! It was still light out just about to turn to night at around 5:50pm. Truly amazing!

I was walking east towards my vehicle when I saw a bright green/blue streak originate from the northeast and terminate in the south east. Its trajectory was heading downward at about a 30 degree angle. It burned for 2-3 seconds and then went out.

Imperial, Nebraska Hugh Fireball 5:50 pm 22FEB2011
I was driving west from Imperial, NE, just across the Colorado state line and saw the huge fireball. It started high in the sky and fell southwards at approximately 10 minutes before 6:00 p.m. It was absolutely beautiful! Interesting that I saw it from the east, looking west and everyone else who reports this saw it looking to the east from the front range.

Pensacola, Florida Very Large Green Fireball 
~7:00 pm CST 21?FEB2011
I know in the last few days you have seen several large green fireballs, but none have been reported for Florida, near Pensacola. I wanted to let you know that shortly before 7:00 pm CST I saw a very large green fireball cross the sky. I was driving home - towards (30.550369,-87.0244 ) and was at approximately (30.550694,-87.034056) when I spotted the fireball. I am sorry I'm not able to give you the precise time, but I hope that helps with some of your tracking. Have a lovely evening.
