Last night
GMN's latest daily file (Oct 31, 19:07 UTC to Nov 1, 10:25 UTC) has no meteors within 300 km of the middle of Wyoming.
Why this page may miss a meteor you saw
GMN only computes a meteor's path when two or more of its cameras film it, and the cameras must have clear skies. Daytime meteors and meteors under clouds are missed. Meteors are placed where they started glowing, often more than 100 km up (see the start heights above). A meteor seen from Wyoming can start over a neighboring state and count there.
Saw a fireball in Wyoming?
AMS calls a meteor a fireball when it is brighter than magnitude -4, about as bright as Venus (AMS ). Report it on the AMS fireball form . Reports from many people help find where it went.
