DENVER FIREBALL: A spectacular fireball streaked over Denver, Colorado, this morning. Observers described it as "brilliant, slow, twinkling, sparkly and full of rainbow colors." Contrary to some reports, it was not a Quadrantid meteor. It was the decaying body of a Russian rocket that launched the French COROT space telescope on Dec. 27th. Links to video and a ground track may be found at http://spaceweather.com <http://spaceweather.com/> . Now we know what a malfunctioning rocket looks like when it burns up. (Thanks to Dan Robinson for sending me this information.)
