Details:
While out shooting the other night atop Independence Pass, Darren spotted this huge glowing object in the western sky. First we thought it was a fireball/meteor of some sort but upon doing some research Darren uncovered that it was actually the breakup/reentry of a Chinese rocket. I was lucky enough to be able to swing the camera around and capture these three images (top to bottom) of its brief visible life.
