I've gotten several reports of a pretty spectacular fireball last night over the Albuquerque area, at around 6:40 p.m. One reader described it as having "a very long yellow tail and the most brilliant electric blue head you could imagine". Dick Spalding out at Sandia Labs, who tracks these things with a rooftop all-sky camera, said it was visible for 13 seconds - an unusually long time. His camera also picked up a second, similar one at about 8:30 p.m.
