several guests reported seeing a flare in the area of Peaks 5 and 6.
"However, we really can't confirm what it was," she said.    The
Summit County sheriff's office received two calls about the possible
meteor. James Rickman, a spokesman at the Los Alamos National
Laboratory, said the scientific term for an object like the one
described by Breckenridge eyewitnesses is "daytime fireball." Alma
resident John Fisher was in Breckenridge when he spotted the object.
According to Fisher, it created a visible trail that covered a quarter
of the sky from his vantage point as he drove north on Highway 9 near
the Breckenridge Building Center. Although no one saw where the object
landed, Ford believes it hit near Good Pasture Tarn, just south of
Breckenridge.  So far, no agencies have launched a search for the
object. Bill Steigerwald, spokesman for NASA's Goddard Space Flight
Center in Maryland, said the center has received a unusually high
number of reported meteor sightings this year. Steigerwald said if the
Breckenridge sighting wasn't a meteor, it could have been  "an
airplane, a piece of space junk or some kind of rocket test that went
astray." But most space junk burns up in the atmosphere, he said.
Hmmmmmmm
