Fireball lights up the Colorado sky
Fox news website has this impressive video of a fireball over Colorado caused by a Russian rocket booster re-entering the atmosphere. The video captures an impressive display as the booster breaks apart and burns up on re-entry. Thanks to the Bad Astronomer for highlighting this clip.
