Bright aqua green flashing roundish ball with orange sparkles coming out the back in a triangular shape, may have had a red dot near the back, but can't be sure. Headed northeast on a downward (45 degree?) angle. Spotted at I-25 & I-225 interchange. Must have touched/crashed, but no explosion. Reported all over the radio this morning. The orange sparkles (flames?) were not "showering down", the aqua ball wash flashing/strobing like a huge flare gun round would. Dropped down behind the buildings and out of sight. People have reported this as far away as Fort Collins, CO...so, it couldn't have been as close to me as expected. I thought I would see some fire, light, or explosion when it crashed, that didn't happen. But, I nearly drove off the highway, along with many other cars on the road. I didn't know who to call (neither did my husband when I got home).
