Hi Mike/Shawn/List,

Following Shawn's post, I looked at the video and came to the same
conclusion -- way too fast to be a space object, and very unlikely
to be visible *through* the clouds in any case. Despite that, I
~did~ check Denver and Cheyenne radars to see if anything showed
up. Lots of weather/clouds at the time, but no obvious bolides.

Unfortunate, btw, that no one bothered to indicate WHEN the bolide
occurred on August 3rd. I had to estimate it based on the game
being in the top of the 6th, 2 outs, 2-2 count in a 3-0 game at
the time, knowing the game started at 6:40 pm MDT, and that local
sunset occurred around 8:17 pm. --Rob

Wayyyyyy too fast! Looked like a bug flying just in front of the camera.

been an extremly bright fireball as it is visible from behind cloud
cover!
