Blue fireball lights up the skies of colorado and nebraska. The fireball was spotted my many people

I was sitting in my living room looking out the window when I saw a Blue fireball hovering over only about a mile away northeast from my house on the southside of town. I jumped up to look closer out the window and the blue light dropped down within a split second out of sight. I didn't think much of it, but then on Saturday there was an article in the paper which explained that the mysterious fireball that I saw was also seen by many people in Denver, and around the Nebraska-Colorado border. The article said that authorties have not determined what it was. So the blue fireball was seen in Pueblo aroun 8:45pm then was spotted at 9:30 near Kimball, Sidney, Chadron and in the Denver area.

NUFORC Note:

We agree with the witness that there may have been more than one object, and at different times. We would like to receive reports from anyone who witnessed the object(s) on this date. PD
