Just to report without knowing if it was observed elsewhere, that my partner and I observed earlier this evening a fireball coming into or skipping along the atmosphere @ 7:24 MST approx. From our vantage point it appeared to come in @ 70 degrees entry from NNW to NNE and disappearing beyond the horizon mountains into BC/Alberta? From this perspective, the fireball was bright white/yellow viewed for approx 1.5 seconds before disappearing. The size @ arms length appeared to be approx. 1/4 centimeter +/-.
