I have a very bright event from the camera at the Denver Museum of
Nature and Science. It was at 2011-10-19 02:25:00 MDT, and right on the
horizon at an azimuth of 58?, nearly as bright as the Moon. Using a
guess/estimate for height suggests the meteor was over the Middle of
Nowhere, Nebraska, roughly between Denver and Sioux Falls, SD.

Several witnesses report fragmentation. There is a good chance that the KC Airport Downtown has a video as well. Manitoba Allsky maybe caught it? I haven`t checked with Chris Peterson but there is a chance he captured it as well?
